Recently, cold expansion of fastener holes is commonly used in the aerospace industry to increase the fatigue endurance of airframes. Cold expansion process is used as the retardation of crack initiation in the hole. This treatment leads to an improvement of fatigue behavior due to the compressive residual stresses developed on the hole surface. The residual stress profile depends on the cold expansion ratio. In the present paper, it is shown that residual stress is redistributed due to the application of cold expansion process for CT specimen. It is further shown that residual stress increases in proportion to cold expansion ratio. It is thought that crack growth rate increases as cold expansion ratio.

Recently the steel parts used in automobiles are required to be used under high stress more than ever before due to the need of keeping the weight down. To achieve this requirement of the high strength steel, it must be necessary to decrease inclusion contents and surface defects as like decarburization, surface roughness etc. In this study, the surface conditions are measured to know the influence on fatigue properties by two cases of two-stage shot peening and single-stage shot peening. And for this study, three kinds of spring steel (JISG408l-SUP7, SAE 9254 and DIN 50CrV4) are shaped. This study shows the outstanding improvement of fatigue properties at the case of two-stage shot peening in the rotating bending fatigue test and it results from (1) decreasing the surface roughness (2) unchanging the surface hardness (3) increasing the compressive residual stress. Moreover, results also show fatigue failures originated at the inclusion near the surface, and this inclusion type is turned out to be an alumina of high hardness.

This study is to investigate the magnitude, direction and distribution of residual stresses in surface ground plate according to working conditions. The specimens were made of structural carbon steel and were machined in various grinding conditions. These were divided in two groups; heat-treated materials and non-heat-treated materials. In each working condition, let the ground specimen generate displacements using deflection-etching techniques. At the same time, these displacements were precisely measured with electronic micrometer. Through the relation formula between the plane stress and strain, which was derived using these measured data, the values of residual stress are calculated, and the results are analyzed. These results are as follows : 1. According to the working conditions in this experiment, it can be seen that the distribution of residual stress generally had same trend and the maximum residual stress remained in 20~30 ((${\mu}m$) beneath the surface. 2. It is observed that compressive residual stress changes into tensile stress in 5~20 (${\mu}m$) beneath the surface. It is suggested that such phenomenon is originated from the friction effect in grinding process. 3. As the hardness increases by the heat treatment, residual stress increases. 4. As the fatigue strength increases by the compressive residual stress, it is desirable that the dowm feed and table feed reduce. 5. It can be seen that the more great the down feed and table feed increase, the more close the changing point, where the stress changed from compressive to tensile, is colse to the surface. This is due to the resultant effects of the grinding temperature and resistence are larger than the effect of the friction.

In the fossil power plant, the reliability of the components which consist of the many welded parts depends on the quality of welding. The residual stress is occurred by the heat flux of high temperature during weld process. This decreases the mechanical properties as the strength of fatigue and fracture or causes the stress corrosion cracking and fatigue fracture. Especially, the accidents due to the residual stress occurred at the weld parts of high-temperature and high-pressure pipes and steam headers. Also, the residual stress of the welded part in the recently constructed power plants has been brought into relief as the cause of various accidents. The aim of this study is the measurement of the residual stress using the x-ray diffraction method. The merits of this are more accurate and applicable than other methods. The materials used for the study is P92 steel for the use of high temperature pipe on super critical condition. The variables of tests are the post-weld heat treatment, the surface roughness and the depth from the original surface. The test results were analyzed by the distributed characteristics of the full width at half maximum intensity (FWHM) in x-ray diffraction intensity curve and by the relation of hardness with FWHM.

Break-in is an intentional treatment to enhance the performance life of machinery parts and to maintain static friction behavior. Most studies on break-in have concerned only about surface conditions such as roughness or film formation. But the exact mechanism of break-in has not been found yet. Friction, scuffing behavior and wear of AISI 1045 were studied in relation to break-in and residual stress. The cylinder-on-disk type tribometer was used with the line-contact geometry. Scuffing tests were carried out using a constant load of 730N. In the break-in procedure the step load was applied from 100N to 200N. In this experiment, it was found that the break-in helps compressive residual stress to be formed well enough to enhance the scuffing life during the scuffing test. Specimens that had high compressive residual stress induced by shot-peening show better wear resistance than those were not shot-peened. Results of scuffing test, break-in procedure and wear amount in relation to residual stress have been discussed.

A new method of measuring residual stress in micromachined film is proposed. An estimation of residual stress is performed by using least squares fit with an appropriate deflection modeling. an exact value of residual stress is obtained without any of the ambiguities that exist in conventional buckling method, and a good approximation is also obtained by using a few data points. Therefore, the test structures area could be greatly decreased by using this method. The measurement can be done more easily and simply without any actuation or any specific measuring equipment. The structure and fabrication processes described in this paper are simple and widely used in surface micromachining. In addition, in-situ measurement is available by using the proposed method when the test structure and the measurement structure are fabricated on a wafer simultaneously.

Cold expansion of fastener holes is a mechanical process widely used in the aerospace industry. This treatment leads to an improvement of fatigue behavior due to the developed compressive residual stresses on the hole surface. The residual stress profile depends on the parameters of cold expansion, which are expanding rate, inserting direction of mandrel, material properties dtc. Despite its importance to aerospace industiries, little attention has been devoted to the accurate modeling of the process. In this paper, three-dimensional finite element simulations have been conducted for the cold expansion in an aluminium plate in order to predict the magnitude and distribution of the residual stress. To prove the results of FE analysis, the residual strain was measured by strain gage in cold expansion test. Maximum compressive residual stress could be increase about 7 percentage using the 2-step cold expansion method.
