    IN-SITU MEASUREMENT AND NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF LINEAR FRICTION WELDING OF Ti-6Al-4V Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kaiwen Zhang Graduate Program in Welding Engineering The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee Dr. Wei Zhang, advisor Dr. David H. Phillips Dr. Avraham Benatar Dr. Vadim Utkin Copyrighted by Kaiwen Zhang 2020 1 Abstract Traditional fusion welding of advanced structural alloys typically involves several concerns associated with melting and solidification. For example, defects from molten metal solidification may act as crack initiation sites. Segregation of alloying elements during solidification may change weld metal’s local chemistry, making it prone to corrosion. Moreover, the high heat input required to generate the molten weld pool can introduce distortion on cooling. Linear friction welding (LFW) is a solid-state joining process which can produce high-integrity welds between either similar or dissimilar materials, while eliminating solidification defects and reducing distortion. Currently the linear friction welding process is most widely used in the aerospace industry for the fabrication of integrated compressor blades to disks (BLISKs) made of titanium alloys. In addition, there is an interest in applying LFW to manufacture low-cost titanium alloy hardware in other applications. In particular, LFW has been shown capable of producing net-shape titanium pre-forms, which could lead to significant cost reduction in machining and raw material usage. Applications of LFW beyond manufacturing of BLISKs are still limited as developing and quantifying robust processing parameters for high-quality joints can be costly and time consuming.

  • 11283: Engineered Residual Stress to Mitigate Stress Corrosion Cracking
    Paper No. 2011 11283 Engineered Residual Stress to Mitigate Stress Corrosion Cracking of Stainless Steel Weldments Jeremy E. Scheel, N. Jayaraman, Douglas J. Hornbach Lambda Technologies 5521 Fair Lane Cincinnati, OH, 45227-3401 USA ABSTRACT Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is the result of the combined influence of tensile stress and a corrosive environment on a susceptible material. Austenitic stainless steels including types 304L and 316L are susceptible alloys commonly used in nuclear weldments. An engineered residual stress field can be introduced into the surface of components that can reliably produce thermo-mechanically stable, deep compressive residual stresses to mitigate SCC. The stability of the residual stresses is dependant on the amount of cold working produced during surface enhancement processing. Three different symmetrical geometries of weld mockups were processed using low plasticity burnishing (LPB) to produce the desired compressive residual stress field on half of each specimen. SCC testing in boiling MgCl2 was performed to compare the LPB treated and un-treated 304L and 316L stainless steel weldments. X-ray diffraction residual stress analyses were used to document the respective residual stress fields and percent cold working of each condition. Testing was performed to quantify the thermo-mechanical stability of the residual stresses. The un-treated weldments suffered severe SCC damage due to the residual tension from the welding operation. The results show conclusively that LPB completely mitigated SCC in the tested weldments and provided thermo-mechanically stable, deep residual compression.

  • Effect of Tensile Residual Stress on Brittle Fracture of Ferritic Steel
    INFLUENCE OF RESIDUAL STRESSES ON BRITTLE FRACTURE OF FERRITIC STEELS A. Mirzaee Sisan, C. E. Truman and D. J. Smith Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Bristol, Queen’s Building, University Walk, Bristol, BS8 1TR, UK. ABSTRACT An experimental and numerical study is presented which demonstrates the significant effect of tensile residual stress fields on the brittle fracture of ferritic steels. A residual stress field was introduced into laboratory specimens, specifically single edge notched bend, SEN(B), and round notched bars, RNB, using in-plane compression. In-plane compression consists of applying a compressive load along the longitudinal axis of a specimen containing a shallow notch and then unloading at room temperature. The specimens were then cooled to a temperature of -150oC and reloaded to fracture after introduction of a sharp notch. Numerical analyses utilizing ABAQUS finite element code were carried out to simulate the process of in-plane compression. The numerical studies demonstrated that a high tensile residual stress region was created at the notch tip. A considerable decrease in fracture stress and fracture toughness was observed as a result of in- plane compression. The results emphasise the significant role of residual stresses in the fracture behaviour of ferritic steels. 1 INTRODUCTION Residual stress fields have significant effect on the fracture load of structures [1]. Welding is one of the major causes of residual stresses. The magnitude of weld residual stress can be as high as the yield strength of the material [2]. The tensile residual stress field can be combined with in- service stresses and promote failure [2,3].

  • Residual Stress Measurement by the Introduction of Slots Or Cracks I
    Transactions on Engineering Sciences vol 13, © 1996 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3533 Residual stress measurement by the introduction of slots or cracks I. Finnic, W.Cheng Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of California, Abstract A relatively new approach for the experimental measurement of residual stress is outlined and extended. In essence, it makes use of strain measurement as a slot of progressively increasing depth is introduced into a body. For near- surface residual stress measurement the Nisitani "body force method" is used to determine residual stresses from strain measurement In cases in which through-the-thickness stress measurement is desired it is shown that many solutions may be obtained from procedures based on linear elastic fracture mechanics. Although the method requires more extensive prior numerical computation than traditional methods, it involves a simple experimental pro- cedure and in many cases leads to much greater precision in prediction of resi- dual stresses than traditional methods. 1 Introduction Residual stress is a topic of major importance in any discussion of the mechan- ical behavior of materials. In many important applications residual stresses have led to premature failure. By contrast, compressive residual stresses are often introduced deliberately to extend the life of parts. As a result there is an extensive literature on the measurement of residual stress. More recently, with enhanced computational ability, the numerical simulation of residual stress has received increasing

While the external loadings acting on a material or component are clearly important, There are other contributory factors including unfavourable materials microstructure, pre- existing defects and residual stresses. Residual stresses can add to, or subtract from, the applied stresses and so when unexpected failure occurs it is often because residual stresses have combined critically with the applied stresses, or because together with the presence of undetected defects they have dangerously lowered the applied stress at which failure will occur.

  • Finite Element Analysis of Weld Residual Stresses in Austenitic Stainless Steel Dry Cask Storage System Canisters Technical Letter Report
    Finite Element Analysis of Weld Residual Stresses in Austenitic Stainless Steel Dry Cask Storage System Canisters Technical Letter Report Joshua Kusnick1, Michael Benson1, and Sara Lyons2 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 1Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research 2Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation December 2013 Executive Summary In the U.S., spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is maintained at independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSIs). These sites are licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission under title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 72. The SNF is confined in dry cask storage systems (DCSSs), which are most commonly constructed of welded austenitic stainless steel canisters emplaced within concrete shielding structures. These shielding structures have vents to allow for convective cooling and, consequently, expose the canister surface to chlorides if they are present in the atmosphere. Chloride salts that deposit on the canister surface can deliquesce in specific environments, resulting in the aqueous solution necessary to initiate chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (SCC) if tensile stresses are present. While tensile stresses are thought to exist on the canister surface due to forming and welding operations, the magnitude of these stresses is unknown. This report documents the analysis of the weld- induced residual stresses that could promote chloride-induced SCC initiation and growth. The modeling was conducted via a sequentially coupled thermal-structural finite element analysis for a generic canister configuration, and the report details the analytical methods, assumptions, potential implications, uncertainties, and further potential research areas. Given the welding, fabrication, and modeling assumptions imposed in this analysis, sufficiently high tensile residual stresses exist in the canister welds and their associated heat affected zones to allow for SCC initiation and potential through-wall growth if exposed to a corrosive environment.

The results show that heat input influences the microstructure, residual stresses, and SCC behavior. With the increase of heat input, both the δ-ferrite in weld and the average grain width decrease slightly, while the austenite grain size in the heat affected zone (HAZ) is slightly increased. The predicted repair welding residual stresses by simulation have good agreement with that by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The transverse residual stresses in the weld and HAZ are gradually decreased as the increases of heat input. The higher heat input can enhance the tensile strength and elongation of repaired joint.

  • Understanding the Effect of Residual Stresses on Surface Integrity and How to Measure Them by a Non Destructive Method
    AC 2008-66: UNDERSTANDING THE EFFECT OF RESIDUAL STRESSES ON SURFACE INTEGRITY AND HOW TO MEASURE THEM BY A NON-DESTRUCTIVE METHOD Daniel Magda, Weber State University Page 13.1313.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Understanding the Effect of Residual Stresses on Surface Integrity and how to Measure them by a Non-Destructive Method Abstract In teaching the theory of solid mechanics of metallic materials there are basically two kinds of stresses that a component can be subjected to. The first are the applied stresses generated from a loading condition that the component experiences in service. This load can be either a static or dynamic where the stresses are easily determined by traditional strength of materials equations, continuum mechanics or by finite element analysis. The second type of mechanical stress that occurs in materials is classified as residual stresses. These are the stresses that remain in the material after all the applied loads are removed. Mechanical engineering and engineering technology students have a difficult time understanding the generation of residual stresses, measuring them and their overall effect on design life. Residual stresses typically come from non-uniform plastic flow due to some previous loading or manufacturing process. Some of these processes are but not limited to casting, machining, welding, grinding, shot peening, quenching, nonuniform cold working such as twisting, bending, forging and drawing. Engineering students must learn that residual stresses will have an effect on the surface integrity. However, the literature shows that depending on the magnitude and direction that these stresses hold they may be harmful or beneficial to the overall design life.

Fatigue performance of many shot peened al- loys is widely reported to increase with coverage up to 100%, by many investigators and even in shot peening The fatigue strength of some alloys is reported to be reduced by ex- cessive coverage(?). ~eros~ace(~$~),aut~rnotive('~, and shot peening specifications require at least 100% coverage.

The residual stress field arising from an individual shot impact is much greater in extent than the physical size of the impact crater and the resulting surrounding ridge of raised material.(lO) Hence, at least some degree of undimpled surface area, less than 100% coverage, should be to- lerable in terms of residual stress and fatigue strength achieved by peening. Accordingly, residu- al stress-depth distributions were determined for specimens peened to various coverage levels.

  • Effect of Residual Stress on Cleavage Fracture Toughness by Using Cohesive Zone Model
    Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures doi: 10.1111/j.1460-2695.2011.01550.x Effect of residual stress on cleavage fracture toughness by using cohesive zone model X. B. REN1,Z.L.ZHANG1 andB.NYHUS2 1Department of Structural Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), N-7491, Trondheim, Norway, 2SINTEF Materials and Chemistry, N-7465 Trondheim, Norway Received in final form 13 Dec 2010 ABSTRACT This study presents the effect of residual stresses on cleavage fracture toughness by using the cohesive zone model under mode I, plane stain conditions. Modified boundary layer simulations were performed with the remote boundary conditions governed by the elastic K-field and T-stress. The eigenstrain method was used to introduce residual stresses into the finite element model. A layer of cohesive elements was deployed ahead of the crack tip to simulate the fracture process zone. A bilinear traction–separation-law was used to characterize the behaviour of the cohesive elements. It was assumed that the initiation of the crack occurs when the opening stress drops to zero at the first integration point of the first cohesive element ahead of the crack tip. Results show that tensile residual stresses can decrease the cleavage fracture toughness significantly. The effect of the weld zone size on cleavage fracture toughness was also investigated, and it has been found that the initiation toughness is the linear function of the size of the geometrically similar weld. Results also show that the effect of the residual stress is stronger for negative T-stress while its effect is relatively smaller for positive T-stress.
