Abstract Low plasticity burnishing (LPB) has been extensively employed in aero-industry to enhance fatigue performance of machined components by introducing compressive residual stress. Effects of various parameters on the residual stress field induced by low plasticity burnishing have been investigated by many researchers. However, initial residual stresses induced by machining are one of the important factors which affect the residual stress regenerated by the LPB process. The present work aims to develop an analytical model which takes into account the initial residual stress and burnishing parameters to predict residual stress field of workpiece material Inconel 718 based on Hertz contact theory and elastic–plastic theory. Initial residual stress fields were produced by turning of Inconel 718 and were measured by using X-ray diffraction technique. Two types of material constitutive models such as the linear hardening model and isotropic–kinematic model were employed to describe the elastic–plastic behavior of workpiece material Inconel 718. An analytical study was performed to analyze the effect of the initial residual stress field and burnishing parameters on residual stress induced by low plastic burnishing. The results of analytical model were verified by conducting the LPB experiments on initial turned Inconel 718. The results showed that the shape and magnitude of the residual stress field obtained with considering the effect of initial residual stress field was in good accordance with experimental measurements.

Laser shock peening (LSP) is an innovative surface treatment technique similar to shot peening. An analytical model to predict the residual stress field can obtain the impact effect much quickly, and will be invaluable in enabling a close-loop process control in production, saving time and cost of processing. A complete analytical model of LSP with some reasonable simplification is proposed to predict residual stresses in depth by a sequential application of a confined plasma development model and a residual stress model. The spatial distribution of the shock pressure and the high strain rate effect are considered in the model. Good agreements have been shown with several experimental measured results for various laser conditions and target materials, thus proving the validity of the proposed model.

Re-autofrettage has been identified as a significant, cost-effective method to achieve higher re-yield pressure (RYP) and/or weight reduction in large caliber gun tubes. For a given overstrain, residual stress profiles for hydraulic and for swage autofrettage may differ significantly in their intensity. The simplest representation of this ‘intensity’ effect is the magnitude of the bending moment ‘locked in’ via the residual hoop stress. Hill’s analytical, plane strain, Von Mises, analysis predicts a larger ‘locked-in’ moment than does the equivalent open-end condition. By assuming a range of stress-field intensities (f) scaleing from 1.0 to 1.4 times that produced by open-end hydraulic autofrettage, it was possible to assess re-yield behavior following initial autofrettage via a generic numerical study. In cases where Bauschinger effect is absent, re-yield initiates at the original elastic plastic interface. This includes the ideal Hill distribution. When Bauschinger effect is present, re-yield for f ≤ 1.1 initiates at the bore and after further pressurization at the original elastic plastic interface within two zones. For f ≥ 1.2 the reverse is the case, with initial yield at the original elastic plastic interface and subsequently at the bore. RYP increases with increasing f up to f = 1.175 and then decreases significantly. This loss of RYP may be mitigated by hydraulic re-autofrettage. At f = 1.0 re-autofrettage increases RYP by 4%. At f = 1.4 RYP is increased by 19%. There are modest increases in safe maximum pressure as a result of re-autofrettage. RYP closely approaching re-autofrettage pressure is achievable for f ≥ 1.3. Within this range, re-autofrettage offers a significant benefit. Re-autofrettage also produces beneficial effects via increased bore hoop compressive stress, this increase varying from 20% for f = 1 to zero for f = 1.4. Such increased compression will benefit fatigue lifetime for fatigue cracks initiating at the bore. Conversely, tensile OD hoop stress increases, with increasing f, by a maximum of 6%.

In this paper, the initial residual stress field for titanium alloy monolithic component blank is simulated and analyzed by applying a sequentially coupled thermal and mechanical procedure based on finite element method. The control equation of heat conduction of annealing process is studied, and the boundary condition and fundamental equations of simulation are given. The research results show that the initial residual stress field for titanium alloy monolithic component blank radiates from the center region to outside, the center region being the maximum value, then decreases gradually, until a minimum value is attained at the corner.

Low-plasticity burnishing (LPB) is a surface modification process involving complex cyclic plastic deformation that results in the development of a deep residual stress field. In order to achieve an optimal LPB-induced residual stress field for the geometry appropriate to the aircraft engine component, the key parameters of the LPB process, such as burnishing load, burnishing ball size and material properties, need to be determined. For this purpose, a three-dimensional non-linear moving contact finite element model is proposed to simulate the multipass LPB process and to predict the effects of those parameters on the resultant residual stress field. The material constitutive model used in the finite element analysis has been developed from the cyclic stress/strain response obtained from experimental measurements on the material. Prediction of the LPB-induced residual stresses by the finite element model appears to agree reasonably well with X-ray diffraction measurements.

Abstract The aluminothermic welding (ATW) process is the most commonly used welding process for welding rails (track) in the field. The large amount of weld metal added in the ATW process may result in a wide uneven surface zone on the rail head, which may, in rare cases, lead to irregularities in wear and plastic deformation due to high dynamic wheel-rail forces as wheels pass. The present paper studies the introduction of additional forging to the ATW process, intended to reduce the width of the zone affected by the heat input, while not creating a more detrimental residual stress field. Simulations using a novel thermo-mechanical FE model of the ATW process show that addition of a forging pressure leads to a somewhat smaller width of the zone affected by heat. This is also found in a metallurgical examination, showing that this zone (weld metal and heat-affected zone) is fully pearlitic. Only marginal differences are found in the residual stress field when additional forging is applied. In both cases, large tensile residual stresses are found in the rail web at the weld. Additional forging may increase the risk of hot cracking due to an increase in plastic strains within the welded area.
