For the improvement of safety and endurance in welded steel structure, it is needed to consider welding residual stress distribution and rolling directional characteristics of materials. In this study, it was investigated experimentally about characteristics of fatigue crack propagation according to welding residual stress and rolling in FCAW(flux cored arc welding) butt-jointed steel plates. SS400 steel plates of 3mm thickness were selected and tested for this study. When the angles between tensile loading direction and rolling direction in welded materials are increased from $0^{\circ}\;to\;90^{\circ}$, their fatigue crack propagation rates are increased. These results are same as predicted increments of fatigue crack propagation rate when stress ratio is increased from 0 to 0.5. When the angles of rolling direction and welding direction to tensile loading direction are $0^{\circ}\;and\;90^{\circ}$ respectively, fatigue crack propagation rate in welded material is lowest.

In this study, the weld residual stress distribution at a dissimilar-metal welded plate of low alloy carbon steel and stainless steel, which are widely used in nuclear power plants, was characterized. A plate mock-up with butt welding was fabricated using SA 508 low alloy steel and Type 304 stainless steel plates and the residual stresses were measured by the X-ray diffraction method after electrolytic polishing of the plate specimen. Finite element analysis was carried out in order to simulate the butt welding of dissimilar metal plate, and the calculated weld residual stress distribution was compared with that obtained from the measured data. The characteristics of the three-dimensional residual stress distribution in a butt weld of dissimilar metal plates were investigated by comparing the measured and calculated residual stress data.

Plasma ceramic spray that is applied on a machine part under severe work conditions has been investigated for tribological behavior. The application of ceramic coatings by plasma spray has become essential in tribosystems to produce wear resistance and long life in severe conditions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the wear characteristics of $8\%Y_{2}O_3-ZrO_2$ coating, in view of the effect of post-spay heat treatment. The plasma-sprayed $8\%Y_{2}O_3-ZrO_2$ coating was studied to know the relationship between phase transformations and wear behavior related to post-spray heat treatment. Wear test was carried out with ball on disk type on normal loads of 50N,70N and 90N under room temperature. The phase transformation of phase and the value of residual stress were measured by X-ray diffraction method(XRD). Tribological characteristics and wear mechanisms of coatings were observed by SEM. The tribological wear performance was discussed in the focusing of residual stress. Consequently, post-spray heat treatment plays an important role in decreasing residual stress. Residual stress in the coating system has a significant influence on the wear mechanism of coating.

This study examined the welding residual stress and fracture toughness of 78mm thick steel electro gas welding (EGW) and flux cored arc welding (FCAW) welded joints by numerical analyses of the thermal elasto-plastic behavior and fracture toughness(KIC). The residual stress, fracture toughness characteristics and production mechanism on the welded joints were clarified. Moreover, the effects of the welding process (EGW and FCAW) on the welding residual stresses and fracture toughness of welded joints were evaluated. The results showed that the new welding process (EGW) appears to be an effective substitute for the existing welding process (FCAW) in a thick steel plate with high strength.

The presence of a residual stress in a thin film affects the properties and performances of the film, so the study of stress in a film must be very important. In this study, therefore, considering the characteristics of PECVD process, it was discussed that the residual stress, measured by $sin^2{\Psi}$ method, fo TiN films deposited on substrates with different TECs (thermal expansion coefficients) changed with film thickness. As a results, it was obtained that the residual stress of TiN film was compressive stress about all kinds of substrates and increased with film thickness. Also, the compressive residual stresses of TiN films increased in Si, Ti, STS304 order. According to the above results, we confirmed that the changes of residual stress of TiN film with substrates were due to the thermal stress originated form the difference in the TECs of the film and substrates, and that the intrinsic stress had dominating effect on the residual stress of TiN film deposited by PECVD. And in this study, the intrinsic stress of TiN film was compressive stress in spite of the Zone 1 structure. It is due to the entrapment of impurities in grain boundary or void.

Numerical prediction of welding-induced residual stresses using the finite element method has been a common practice in the development or refinement of welded product designs. Various researchers have studied several thermal models associated with the welding process. Among these thermal models, ramp heat input and double-ellipsoid moving source have been investigated. These heat-source models predict the temperature fields and history with or without accuracy. However, these models can predict the thermal characteristics of the welding process that influence the formation of the inherent plastic strains, which ultimately determines the final state of residual stresses in the weldment. The magnitude and distribution of residual stresses are compared. Although the two models predict similar magnitude of the longitudinal stress, the double-ellipsoid moving source model predicts wider tensile stress zones than the other one. And, both the ramp heating and moving source models predict the stress results in reasonable agreement with the experimental data.

Laser shock peening is useful to improve fatigue characteristic of multiple number of metals and alloys. This process induces a compressive residual stress on the metal surface, and when tensile load is applied, growth of crack is delayed and which changes the characteristic of the metal surface. It is an innovative surface treatment technique for strengthening metals. Specimens of SM45C are used in this study. The effect of an inertial tamping layer on the residual stress field using laser shock peening setup and Nd:YAG laser power is evaluated. Residual stress distribution measured by X-ray diffraction. As a result of this study it can be presented that following condition of Nd:YAG laser power and inertial tamping layer parameters, compressive residual stress is generated on the surface of the SM45C. Results to experimental data indicate that laser shock peening has great potential as a means of improving the mechanical performance of the metal surface.

The compressive residual stress, which is induced by shot peening process, seems to be an Important factor in increasing the fatigue strength. And then it was showed that residual stress was disappearenced at the high temperature. The fatigue charateristic investigation of a SUP9 spring steel processed shot peening is performed by considering the high temperature service conditions in the range of room temperature through $180^{\circ}C$ in the range of stress ratio of 0.3 by means of opening mode displacement. The fatigue resistance characteristics and fracture strength at high temperature is considerable lower than that of room temperature in the early stage and stable of fatigue crack growth region.
