Both dispersed and concentrated shot peening can be an effective method for the finishing of machine components. This work investigates the effect of two different shot peening (SP) processes conducted with the same technological parameters on selected properties of the surface layer of gray cast iron EN-GJL 250. Specifically, regular shot peening (RSP) and semi-random shot peening (SRSP) were investigated in the study. The results demonstrated that the surface quality of EN-GJL 250 samples was higher after RSP than after SRSP. The analyzed surface roughness parameters were lower after RSP than after SRSP, with the exception of the Rvk parameter. As a result of RSP, the analyzed roughness parameters increased from 5% to 62% in relation to their values after pre-treatment. The lowest values of the surface roughness parameters were obtained after RSP conduced with the impact energy E = 100 mJ, the distance between the dimples x = 0.3 mm, and the diameter of the shot peening element d = 14.3 mm. Assessment of the 3D surface topography showed significant differences in the formation of machining traces depending on the employed surface treatment. In RSP, the traces were arranged in a uniform manner, with the assumed step, whereas in SRSP the shot peening traces had no set pattern of orientation. The application of RSP and SRSP caused an increase in surface microhardness. The maximum surface microhardness was 75 HV0.5 for RSP and 98 HV0.5 for SRSP. Residual stresses were higher after SRSP than after RSP. Compressive residual stresses were induced in both types of shot peening process.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a widely used 3D printing technology that can create a diverse range of objects. However, achieving the desired mechanical properties of printed parts can be challenging due to various printing parameters. Residual stress is a critical issue in FDM, which can significantly impact the performance of printed parts. In this study, we used Digimat-AM software to conduct numerical simulations and predict residual stress in Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) material printed using FDM. We varied six printing parameters, including printing temperature, printing speed, and infill percentage, with four values for each parameter. Our results showed that residual stress was positively correlated with printing temperature, printing speed, and infill percentage, and negatively correlated with layer thickness. Bed temperature did not have a significant effect on residual stress. Finally, using a concentric infill pattern produced the lowest residual stress. The methodology used in this study involved conducting numerical simulations with Digimat-AM software, which allowed us to accurately predict residual stress in FDM-printed ABS parts. The simulations were conducted by systematically varying six printing parameters, with four values for each parameter. The resulting data allowed us to identify correlations between residual stress and printing parameters, and to determine the optimal printing conditions for minimizing residual stress. Our findings contribute to the existing literature by providing insight into the relationship between residual stress and printing parameters in FDM. This information is important for designers and manufacturers who wish to optimize their FDM printing processes for improved part performance. Overall, our study highlights the importance of considering residual stress in FDM printing, and provides valuable information for optimizing the printing process to reduce residual stress in ABS parts.

This study investigates the blast mitigation capabilities of A286 steel micro-lattice structures produced through additive manufacturing. The research explores the effects of different manufacturing conditions, such as stress relief and heat treatment, on the mechanical properties and blast resistance of honeycomb and gyroid lattice structures in correlation with armour steel structures. Comprehensive evaluations, including surface morphology, corrosion resistance, and compressive residual stress analysis, reveal notable findings for micro-lattice structures. Micro-lattice structures demonstrated 57.23% higher corrosion resistance compared to conventional materials, presently available in the form of rolled homogeneous armour, medium hardness armour, and high-nitrogen steel. Additionally, honeycomb lattice structures exhibit compressive residual stresses of up to 581.90 MPa, providing significant advantages in blast mitigation potential. These results underscore the significance of lattice geometry, material microstructure, and residual stress in enhancing blast resistance. The research offers valuable insights into optimizing additive manufactured structures as an alternative modular solution for defence applications.

Structural components are often operated under combined stress conditions (primary and secondary stresses), but the stress levels generated by residual stress (or secondary stress) is hardly ever evaluated. Hence, stress intensity factors at the crack tips of a compact tension (CT) specimen under a pre-compressed load condition are analyzed using the finite element method. Then, the average residual stress intensity factor is calculated and analyzed. As the crack length α0/W increases, the average residual stresses σave/σ0 grows under the same pre-compression load. σave/σ0 increases rapidly at a low range of the pre-compression load but tends to a constant in a high range of the load. The distribution of the average residual stress intensity factors Kave and Κave/σ0 of the CT specimen with same crack length under different pre-compression loads have the same tendency. Additionally, the distribution of Κave and KFEM under different pre-compression loads are also similar. Nevertheless, Kave estimated by the average residual stress is too conservative and not accurate, and the method is complex, which depends on the analysis of simulation. Therefore, a simple method for calculating Mode I stress intensity factor K for this model is presented. A group of examples is presented to verify the accuracy of the method.

The finite element method (FEM) is developed to simulate a discontinuous cutting in the whirlwind milling. Firstly, a simplified arc-cutting model for simulating the actual circular cutting, and a plane-cutting model for simplification were both developed and verified by experiments. Then, the effects of cutting parameters on the cutting force and residual stress were effectively investigated based on the plane-cutting model. Moreover, a plane-second- -cutting model was further developed. It showed that a minor decrease of cutting force and a higher maximum compressive stress were generated in the second cutting. Those results were conducive to predict and improve the whirlwind milling.

To study the anti-seismic performance of steel structure under high temperature, the finite element analysis software ABAQUS was used to study the seismic performance of Q235 steel welded box section column at service stage under normal temperature and high temperature fire. The effects of welding residual stress, slenderness ratio, width thickness ratio and axial load level on the hysteretic behavior of columns were analyzed and the stable bearing capacity and hysteretic performance of the column under high temperature were investigated. The results show that the maximum bearing capacity of the column decreases with the increase of the residual stress peak value. With the increase of temperature, a decrease in the maximum bearing capacity of columns under constant axial force and horizontal cyclic load and an increase in the ductility occur.

The present work investigated the microstructural feature, mechanical properties, and residual stress variation for the dissimilar welded joints (DWJs) of P92 and AISI 304L steel. The multi-pass DWJs were attempted for narrow gap geometry using the tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process employing the ERNiCrMo-3 filler metal. The martensitic microstructure produced in the P92 HAZ region after welding is brittle due to quenched martensite and the dissolution of precipitates. Thus, the post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) known as tempering was carried out at 760 °C for a period of 2 h to get tempered martensitic microstructure and re-precipitation of dissolved precipitates. The radiographic examination and macrostructure analysis showed defect-free P92/304L SS DWJs. The weld metal showed the complete austenitic microstructure with a Ni weight percentage of 36%. However, segregation of the alloying elements along with the inter-dendritic areas and variation in grain growth during solidification was observed. There is columnar grain morphology at interface, cellular, and equiaxed in the center. The major segregation along the inter-dendritic areas was observed for Nb, Mo, Ti, and Cr that led to the formation of the carbides of type Mo6C, TiC, and NbC, which was confirmed from the energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. From the tensile test result, 304L SS base metal (BM) was inferred as the weakest region in P92/304L SS DWJs. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the as-weld joint was about 626 MPa, along with fracture location in 304L SS base metal. The Charpy impact test results showed that the region with relatively poor impact toughness was austenitic ERNiCrMo-3 filler weld (57 J) which might be due to the segregation of the Nb and Mo along the inter-dendritic areas. However, the impact toughness of the ERNiCrMo-3 filler weld met the minimum requirement of 47J (EN ISO 3580:2017). The micro-hardness result showed that in the as-welded condition, the coarse grain heat affected zone (CGHAZ) has the highest micro-hardness value (340 HV) due to the high weight percentage of Cr and N resulting from the dissolution of M23C6 precipitates followed by the fine grain heat affected zone (FGHAZ, 270 HV), and the inter-critical heat affected zone (ICHAZ, 205 HV). After PWHT, the hardness value was decreased below the maximum allowable value of 265 HV due to the tempering of the martensite. The residual stresses developed in the case of the narrow groove design were less due to the less quantity of weld metal available for volumetric contraction in the case of the narrow groove geometry. The tensile stress was dominant in the weld fusion zone due to the volumetric contraction of the weld metal, while compressive stress was dominant in P92 HAZ because of the martensitic phase transformation.

A dissimilar joint of martensitic grade P92 and Ni-based Inconel 617 (IN617) alloy are employed commonly in advanced ultra-supercritical (AUSC) units to fabricate thick section components such as steam pipes and turbine rotors. This study investigated the weldability of the IN617 alloy and P92 steel dissimilar welds. Ni-based superalloy ERNiCrMo-3 filler was used to attempt the dissimilar joining for conventional V groove and narrow groove design by employing the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. The weld metal for the capping pass, backing pass, and near the interface showed the columnar and cellular grains while equiaxed grains are observed corresponding to root and filling passes. The energy dispersive spectroscopy and Electron probe micro-analyzer (EMPA) study confirmed the segregation of the Nb and Mo particles in inter-dendritic spaces and resulted in the formation of the Nb-rich NbC and laves phases and Mo-rich phases. The EDS line map and EPMA study of the P92 interface showed a sharp increase in Cr, Mo, and Ni concentration and a steep decrease in Fe concentration as moving from P92 base metal to weld metal. A negligible diffusion from filler weld to IN617 or vice versa across the IN617 interface was detected. The microhardness gradient along the weldments indicated a sharp rise in hardness value near the P92 fusion boundary due to the formation of the unmixed zone of lower hardness and the P92 coarse-grained heat-affected zone of higher hardness. The weld metal hardness results showed a great variation with an average hardness value for V groove and narrow groove welds of 227 and 262 HV, respectively. The mechanical tests were conducted at the ambient temperatures and data obtained for the weldments were compared with the base metals. The room temperature tensile tests showed the failure from the region of the P92 BM or the interface of P92 BM/weld metal, with joint strength of 646 ± 6 MPa and 747 ± 4 MPa in AW conditions for V groove and narrow groove, respectively. The Charpy impact test (CIT) also showed the variation in impact toughness along the weldments, and the ERNiCrMo-3 filler weld was identified as the weakest region of the welded joint in terms of impact toughness for both the groove designs. The residual stress variation along the thickness of the weld plate was measured using the deep hole drilling (DHT) methods, and the results indicated the peak magnitude of the residual stress for the V groove welded joint. The test results indicated that welded joint produced using ERNiCrMo-3 filler was safe for AUSC power plants' boiler applications for both the groove weld while optimum mechanical properties were measured for narrow groove weld.

This article presents the influence of the brushing process on residual stress and surface roughness of EN AW-2024-T3 aluminum alloy joints welded using the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) method. Butt joints with thicknesses of 2 mm were brushing with using ceramic brush. The aim of the study was to find optimal parameters of the brushing process, which would significantly improve the functional properties of welded joints. The experiments were carried out in two steps. In the first stage of the research, the feed rate was changed in the range f = 40 ÷ 120 mm / min with a constant brushing depth d = 0.5 mm. The roughness decreased from Sa = 5.285 µm for the specimen after welding to Sa = 2.460 µm for the f = 120 mm/min and d = 0.5 mm. The change in the parameters of the brushing process did not have a significant impact on the state of residual stresses. Hence, in the second step, the brushing depth was increased in steps of 0.1 mm. The best properties were obtained for f = 120 mm / min and d = 0.6 mm (variant 6A), where roughness was Sa = 0.443 µm and compressive stresses σ = -118 MPa.

Fused Deposition Modeling is an additive manufacturing technology that is used to create a wide range of parts and applications. Along with its benefits, there are some challenges regarding the printed parts' mechanical properties, which are associated with printing parameters like layer thickness, printing speed, infill density, printing temperature, bed temperature, infill pattern, chamber temperature, and printing orientation. One of the most crucial challenges in additive manufacturing technology is the residual stress, which significantly affects the parts like fatigue life, cracks propagation, distortions, dimensional accuracy, and corrosion resistance. Residual stress is hard to detect in the components and sometimes is costly to investigate. Printing specimens with different parameters costs money and is timeconsuming. In this work, numerical simulation using Digimat-AM software was employed to predict and minimize the residual stress in printed Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene material using Fused Deposition Modeling technology. The printing was done by choosing six different printing parameters with three values for each parameter. The results showed a significant positive correlation between residual stress and printing temperature and infill percentage and a negative correlation with layer thickness and printing speed. At the same time, we found no effect of the bed temperature on the residual stress. Finally, the minimum residual stress was obtained with a concentric infill pattern.

The paper deals with the measurement of residual stresses in P92 welded pipe using the blind hole drilling technique. The post weld heat treatment (PWHT) of a P92 welded pipe was also conducted to study their effect on residual stresses. The P92 pipe weld joints were prepared using gas tungsten arc welding process. The residual stress measurement was carried out using a strain gauge rosette that was associated with the plastic deformation of the material and a stress concentration effect of a multi-point cutting tool. A corrective formulation was developed for calculating the corrected value of residual stresses from the experimentally obtained strain value. The Strain gauge response was estimated experimentally using tensile testing for uniaxial loading while a finite element analysis was performed for biaxial loading. A gas tungsten arc welds joint was prepared for a conventional V-groove and a narrow groove design.

Purpose: To determine the impact of selected conditions of abrasive treatment on the value and distribution of microhardness and residual stresses in layers carburised by a continuous single-piece flow method. Design/methodology/approach: Reference pieces were low pressure carburised at 920°C and then heat-treated in a 4D Quench heat treatment chamber at a pressure of 7 bar and tempered at 190ºC for 3 hours. In the next stage, samples were ground at various vw piece speeds, introducing grinding fluid into the cutting zone using the WET spraying method or using the MQL method at a minimum flow rate. The distribution of microhardness and residual stresses generated in the technological outer layer of the pieces following heat and chemical treatment and the grinding process was measured. Findings: Results of the tests indicated that the vw piece speed and method used to supply cooling and lubricating fluid to the grinding zone had an impact on selected parameters of the technological outer layer of flat samples made of 20MnCr5 steel. The process of grinding using an electrocorundum grinding wheel results in a deterioration of residual stresses in the material. For each of the three analysed vw piece speeds, reduced changes in material microhardness prior to cutting occur in the outer layer of samples ground using GF supplied at a minimum flow rate using the MQL method. Research limitations/implications: Environmental considerations and having to conform to increasingly stringent regulations related to environmental protection and employee safety motivate researchers and businesses to entirely eliminate or reduce the use of grinding fluids in the grinding process and, therefore, to optimise grinding technology. Practical implications: Modern manufacturing industry requires the grinding process, which follows heat and chemical treatment, to be performed with the highest possible efficiency. However, retaining high parameters of the technological outer layer in comparison to the sample material following vacuum carburisation (before grinding) is extremely difficult. An optimised configuration of parameters of the grinding process and method of supplying grinding fluids enables meeting the current and future high expectations of the industry in this regard. Originality/value: The tests have enabled us to determine the impact of the applied vw workpiece speed and method of supplying grinding fluid on microhardness and residual stresses. Generally speaking, grinding with an electrocorundum grinding wheel results in a deterioration of residual stresses. For both methods of supplying GF (WET and MQL), the distribution of microhardness in the material of the samples ground with the highest workpiece speed (18.0 m/min) indicated no significant differences with regard to the distribution of microhardness in the material of the samples following heat and chemical treatment.

Purpose: The paper aims to find the magnitude and nature of thermal residual stresses that occur during cooling of a copper sample with a thermally synthesized oxide layer of Cu2O. Design/methodology/approach: Thermo-mechanical analysis was performed by the finite element method using Ansys Software. The results of thermal analysis were used to study the resulting stress-strain state of the thin film/coating system after cooling. Findings: Based on the modeling results, the paper determined the most stress-strain areas of the sample with a coating, which are the free edges of the interfaces between the copper substrate and the Cu2O oxide layer. Research limitations/implications: The main limitations of the study are the use of certain simplifications in the condition setup, for instance, uniform cooling of the thin film/coating system, homogeneity and isotropy of substrate and thin film materials, invariance of their properties with temperature changes, etc. Practical implications: The results obtained can be used to control the stress-strain state of the thin film/coating system and prevent deformations and destruction of thin-film structures during their production and operation of products with them. Originality/value: The study of new promising methods for the formation of oxide nanostructures, for instance in a plasma environment, requires a sufficient theoretical basis in addressing the origin and development of stresses.

This research article reports the correlation between microstructure, mechanical properties, and residual stresses of dissimilar weld joints (DWJs) between P92 martensitic steel and 304L austenitic stainless steel (ASS). The groove geometry plays a vital role in DWJs. Thus the effect of groove geometry on mechanical and microstructural properties was also investigated. The V-shape and narrow shape groove profile were implemented for P92/304L SS DWJs. The microstructural characteristic, tensile strength, micro-hardness, Charpy impact toughness and residual stresses were evaluated for both the groove geometry in as-weld (AW) and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) (760 °C, 2 h) state. Microstructural observations performed using an optical microscope (OM), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that high temperature during the weld thermal cycle leads to the formation of the coarse grain heat-affected zone (CGHAZ), fine grain HAZ (FGHAZ), and inter-critical HAZ (ICHAZ) across the P92 HAZ. The ERNiFeCr-2 (Inconel 718) welding consumable wire (filler rod) of diameter 2.4 mm was used for this investigation. The ERNiFeCr-2 weld fusion zone showed a fully austenitic microstructure with the formation of the secondary phases due to the solidification segregation. The EDS and SEM area mapping results indicated that the secondary phases in the inter-dendritic region contain a higher amount of the Mo and Nb than the matrix region. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the as-weld and PWHT tensile specimen of the P92/304L SS DWJs was 630 and 621 MPa, respectively, for V-groove geometry specimens and 620 and 629 MPa, respectively, for narrow groove geometry specimens. The tensile fracture was experienced at the interface between weld metal and 304L base metal, and the UTS value of DWJs was very close to the UTS of the 304L SS. The abrupt variation in the micro-hardness value of the CGHAZ (456HV0.5), FGHAZ (375HV0.5), and ICHAZ (221HV0.5) was noticed in the as-weld state due to their distinguish microstructure characteristics. After PWHT, the micro-hardness value of the CGHAZ (255HV0.5), FGHAZ (236HV0.5), and ICHAZ (207HV0.5) was below the maximum allowable value of 265HV0.5 for P92 material because of the tempering of the martensite. The Charpy impact test indicated that the ERNiFeCr-2 weld fusion zone has a low toughness value of 33 J (AW) and 25 J (PWHT) for V-groove design and 35 J (AW) and 28 J (PWHT) for narrow groove design than that of the P92 and 304L parent metal. The impact toughness of the ERNiFeCr-2 filler weld was below the minimum requirement of 47 J (EN ISO 3580:2017). The tensile residual stresses were generated in the weld fusion zone due to the volumetric contraction during the solidification. The residual stresses developed in the case of the narrow groove design were less than that for the V-groove design due to the less quantity of weld metal available for volumetric contraction in the case of the narrow groove geometry. From comparing mechanical and microstructural properties obtained for V-groove and narrow groove geometry DWJs, it was found that narrow groove design reduces the overall heat affected zone span, and it requires less welding time and less heat input.

Understanding the microstructural and mechanical behavior of the friction stir welded magnesium matrix composites is necessary for different applications in automobile and aerospace components such as fuel tanks, steering wheels, chassis, seat frames, etc. In the present study, friction stir welding of magnesium RZ5/8 wt% TiB2 metal matrix composites is carried out at different joining conditions. FESEM micrograph showed the refined equiaxed grains in the nugget zone and elongated grains in the thermo-mechanically affected zone. Better grain refinement with uniform distribution is achieved at the tool rotational speed of 931 rpm and traverse speed of 20 mm/min. During the joining of RZ5/8 wt% TiB2 composites, the maximum temperature measured in the nugget zone is 511 °C at the rotational tool speed of 1216 rpm and traverse speed of 20 mm/min. Hardness is maximum at the nugget zone, which is 30% higher than the base material. The heat-affected zone showed the lowest hardness due to the annealing induced grain growth. Tensile strength is maximum during the joining of the RZ5/8 wt% TiB2 composites at a tool rotational speed of 931 rpm because of the better grain refinement with uniform reinforcement distribution in the weld zone. The tensile residual stress is observed to be a maximum of 71.41 MPa at a depth of 2.5 mm from the top surface and compressive residual stress of 60.98 MPa at the bottom surface of the nugget zone. The residual stress increased with an increase in tool rotational speed due to the increase in shrinkage of the materials at the higher temperature.

The surface roughness and residual stress behavior in two types of SiNx/SiO2 dielectric quarter-wave stacks was investigated experimentally. A reactive pulsed magnetron sputtering system was used to prepare the SiNx/SiO2 multilayer thin films. The results show that SiNx/SiO2 quarter-wave stack with a buffer layer of MgF2 thin film can reduce the residual stress. The effect of aging on the residual stress in two quarter-wave stacks was also studied. We found that the residual stresses in both SiNx/SiO2 multilayer coatings are changed from a compressive state to a tensile stress state with increasing the aging time. The root mean square (RMS) surface roughness of MgF2/(SiNx/SiO2)22 and (SiNx/SiO2)22 quarter-wave stacks are 2.23 ± 0.22 nm and 2.08 ± 0.20 nm, respectively.

This paper investigates the influence of film thickness on the electrical and mechanical properties of transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films. Two groups of ITO thin films deposited on unheated substrates were prepared by the radio-frequency magnetron sputtering technique. The biaxial residual stress and surface roughness for two groups of ITO thin films were measured by a Twyman–Green interferometer and a Linnik microscopic interferometer, respectively. The electrical resistivity of the ITO films was measured by a four-point probe apparatus, the thickness was determined mechanically with a profilometer. The measurement results show that the average resistivity of ITO thin films decreases with increasing the deposited thickness. The compressive residual stress in the ITO thin films decreases with increasing the deposited thickness. We also find that an anisotropic stress in the two groups of ITO films is more compressive in a certain direction. The RMS surface roughness in the two groups of ITO films is less than 1 nm.

The joining process of bainitic rails is significant in terms of their industrialization in high-speed and heavy-loaded railways. This paper demonstrates the microstructure changes in the critical zone of the welded joint, which is responsible for the greatest deterioration in mechanical properties. Extensive progress in the decomposition of the retained austenite and bainitic ferrite occurs in the low-temperature heat-affected zone (LTHAZ) of the flash-butt welded joint of low-carbon bainitic rail. The decomposition products of the retained austenite were mainly a mixture of cementite and ferrite. The cementite was mainly precipitated at the boundary of the bainitic ferrite laths, which indicates lower thermal stability of the filmy austenite. Moreover, it was found that a part of the refined blocky retained austenite was decomposed into the ferrite and nanometric cementite, while another remained in the structure. The decomposition mechanisms are rather heterogeneous with varying degrees of decomposition. A relatively high proportion of dislocations and stress fields prove the occurrence of residual stresses formed during the welding process.

Fatigue tests with different machined surface states of GH4169 alloy were conducted firstly. The influence of surface state parameters on the fatigue life was analyzed. Then, the machined surface stress concentration factor and residual stress were introduced into the fatigue crack initiation and propagation models. Finally, the fatigue life prediction model of GH4169 material considering the surface states was established. The prediction results based on the proposed model are almost within a factor of two scatter band of the test results.
