Stress Relieving

Three-dimensional scans of residual stress within intact weldments provide insight into the consequences of various welding techniques and stress-relieving procedures. The neutron diffraction method for nondestructive evaluation of residual stresses has been applied to a circumferential weld in a ferritic steel pipe of outer diameter 114 mm and thickness 8.6 mm. The maximum tensile stresses, 250 MPa in the hoop direction, are found at mid-thickness of the fusion zone. The residual stresses approach zero within 20 mm from the weld center. The residual stresses caused by welding zirconium alloy components are partially to blame for failures due to delayed hydride cracking. Neutron diffraction measurements in a GTA-welded Zr-2.5Nb plate have shown that heat treatment at 530°C for 1 h reduces the longitudinal residual strain by 60 percent. Neutron diffraction has also been used to scan the residual stresses near circumferential electron beam welds in irradiated and unirradiated Zr-2.5Nb pressure tubes. The residual stresses due to electron beam welding appear to be lower than 130 MPa, even in the as-welded state. No significant changes occur in the residual stress pattern of the electron-beam welded tube, during a prolonged exposure to thermal neutrons and the temperatures typical of an operating nuclear reactor.

Good Agreement

The Stellite 6 hardfacing alloys have been deposited on steel substrate using a Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) with complex geometry. The residual strain of the PTA technology at the surface of coating layer and the interface were determined by neutron diffraction method. In the present work, a numerical model for the residual stresses formed during the PTA process with physical conditions and mechanical properties using the Abaqus code is analysed. The result reveals that the residual stresses obtained by the numerical simulation are in very good agreement with experimental results by the neutron diffraction.

Alloy Weld

The neutron diffraction technique for measuring residual stresses non-destructively in an aluminium alloy weld has been examined. Calibration experiments have been performed to determine the influence of prior plastic strain and surface effects. Comparisons have also been made with strain gauge methods using the destructive block removal and layering technique for measuring the residual stresses. It has been shown that the neutron diffraction method gives an accurate indication of the three dimensional stress distribution present in a weld and that it can also be employed to estimate the amount of prior plastic strain encountered.

Neutron Diffraction Method

Residual stress generated in Type-316 austenitic stainless steel butt-weld jointed by Inconel-182 was measured using a neutron diffraction method and compared with values calculated using FEM analysis. The measured values of Type-316 austenitic stainless steel as base material agreed well with the calculated ones. The diffraction had high intensity and a sharp profile in the base metal. However, it was difficult to measure the residual stress at the weld metal due to very weak diffraction intensities. This phenomenon was caused by the texture in the weld material generated during the weld procedure. As a result, this texture induced an inaccurate evaluation of the residual stress. Procedures for residual stress evaluation to solve this textured material problem are discussed in this paper. As a method for stress evaluation, the measured strains obtained from a different diffraction plane with strong intensity were modified with the ratio of the individual elastic constant. The values of residual stress obtained using this method were almost the same as those of the standard method using Hooke’s law. Also, these residual stress values agreed roughly with those from the FEM analysis. This evaluation method is effective for measured samples with a strong texture like Ni-based weld metal.

AbstractUsing neutron diffraction as well as the method of isotopic substitution the partial Bhatia-Thornton as well as the partial Faber-Ziman structure factors of amorphous Ni25Zr75 were determined. A compound forming tendency was found. The atomic distances, partial coordination numbers, and the chemical short range order parameter are evaluated.

Neutron Diffraction Method

We have investigated the crystal structure of strongly anisotropic semiconductor TlInSe2 by neutron diffraction method under high pressure upto P = 3.3 GPa. It was shown that the tetragonal phase of TlInSe2 crystal (the space group I4/mcm) is stable in the whole investigated range of pressure. The lattice parameters dependence of the pressure and the unit cell volume are obtained, the linear coefficients of compressibility and the bulk moduli are calculated. At the low pressure, obtained value of compressibility for the lattice parameter a is k[Formula: see text] = 14.23 × 10[Formula: see text] GPa[Formula: see text] and for c is k[Formula: see text] = 5.93 × 10[Formula: see text] GPa[Formula: see text]. Obtained values for bulk modulus B0 and its pressure derivative B[Formula: see text] in tetragonal phase are 30(7) GPa and 4(1), respectively.
