Stress Assessment

The objective of this paper is an analysis of statistical discreteness and measurement capability of an eddy-current measurement system for residual stress assessment in stainless steel Grade 304 (SS304). Cylindrical specimens with 50 mm in diameter and 12 mm thickness were prepared to generate residual stress by Resistance Spot Welding at which the welding currents were set at 12, 14, and 16 kA. The eddy-current measurement system was including a probe with frequency range of 0.1 to 3 MHz and an eddy current flaw detector. They were performed by contacting the probe on the specimen. The measurements were performed particularly in the vicinity of heat affected zone (HAZ). In order to determine the results of the residual stress measurement, the calibration curves between static tensile stress and eddy current impedance at various frequencies were accomplished. The Measurement System Analysis (MSA) was utilized to evaluate the changed eddy-current probe impedance from residual stress. The results showed that using eddy current technique at 1 MHz for residual stress measurement was the most efficient. It can be achieved the Gauge Repeatability & Reproducibility %GR&R at 16.61479 and Number of Distinct Categories (NDC) at 8. As applied on actual butt welded joint, it could yield the uncertainty of ± 58 MPa at 95 % (UISO).
