A proposta deste trabalho é determinar o efeito das tensões residuais resultantes de tal processo sobre a propagação de trincas na região próxima à junta soldada. Este efeito é considerado calculando-se fatores de intensidade de tensão residual pelo uso de funções ponderadoras e pelo método de elementos finitos.

Finalmente, o ensaio cut compliance é apresentado como uma técnica experimental eficaz na determinação de uma curva de fatores de intensidade de tensão residual.

Demonstra-se que o método de elementos finitos é eficaz na determinação de tais funções / Abstract: Numerous research papers have been published on a process known as friction stir welding or FSW. The purpose of this work is to determine the effect of residual stresses resulting from such process on the propagation of a crack near the weld. This effect is taken into account by calculating residual stress intensity factors using weight functions and finite elements. Numerical techniques and crack propagation rate equations are employed to determine residual fatigue life of solids with cracks that traverse across the weld region. A way to determine a longitudinal residual stress curve from a residual stress intensity factor curve is discussed and applied in this work. Finally, the cut compliance method is presented as an effective experimental technique to determine residual stress intensity factor curves. The application of such method requires calculation of influence functions. It is shown that the finite element method is effective in determining those functions / Mestrado / Mecanica dos Sólidos e Projeto Mecanico / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

S960 and S700 are two types of high strength low alloy steels (minimum yield strengths at 960 MPa and 700 MPa, respectively) developed recently by Tata Steel. These steels are typically used in heavy lifting equipment. This research examines the feasibility and characteristics of single pass autogenous laser welding (ALW), multi-pass ultra-narrow gap laser welding (NGLW) of 8 mm thick S960 and 13 mm thick S700 high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels and compared the characteristics of the welds with those of gas metal arc welding (GMAW). The work aims to understand the development of welding induced residual stresses, microstructures, microhardness, tensile properties, bending properties and Charpy impact toughness at different temperatures as produced by different welding techniques (ALW, NGLW and GMAW).Design of experiments and statistical modelling were used to predict and optimise laser welding parameters of S960 and S700 HSLA steels. The contour method was used to measure the 2D distribution of residual stresses of the welded specimens. X-ray diffraction was carried out to measure the surface residual stresses of the welded specimens. The main novel contributions include:(1) Development of welding procedures for ultra-NGLW of HSLA steels. The ultra-NGLW process was successfully applied to the welding of 8 mm thick S960 and 13 mm thick S700 HSLA steels with a very narrow groove (1.2-1.4 mm wide) using a moderate laser power (2-3 kW).(2) Resolving the melt sagging problem for single pass autogenous laser welding of thick section materials. Horizontal (2G) welding position was applied to successfully resolve the melt sagging problem when single pass flat (1G) position ALW was applied to welding a 13 mm thick S700 steel plate. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modelling was carried out to understand the dynamic force interactions in the weld pool and the factors affecting the formation of the weld bead profile.(3) Understanding the effects of heat input on the microstructures evolution and mechanical properties of the welded high strength steel joints. The much lower heat input for ALW of 8 mm thick S960 steel and ultra-NGLW of both 8 mm thick S960 and 13 mm thick S700 steels results in the generation of hard martensite in the narrow fusion zone (FZ) and heat affected zone (HAZ), which strengthened the welded joints but deteriorated the toughness of the welded joints. The strengthened narrow FZ and HAZ for both the ALW and ultra-NGLW of 8 mm thick S960 steels demonstrated almost the same tensile strength and elongation as the base material. A relatively high heat input for the ALW of 13 mm thick S700 steel results in the generation of bainite in the FZ, which has almost the same microstructure and hardness as the base material.(4) Understanding the effect of solid-state phase transformation on the residual stresses of the welded specimens. It was demonstrated that the solid-state phase transformation from austenite to ferrite, bainite and martensite changes the magnitude of residual stress in the fusion zone for the welded S700 steel plates. In addition, it also changes the yield strength of the FZ, which also has a significant effect on the welding residual stress. In summary, this work has resulted in a significantly enhanced understanding of the way in which the choice of welding process affects the properties of welded joints in high strength steels. Laser welding was found to offer strengthened welded joints. However, the laser welded joints presented low impact toughness. If the toughness of the laser welded joints can be improved, laser welding will be a promising technique for joining high strength steels.

The residual stress profile is a major factor on the fatigue life of components that are subjected to cyclic loading. In order to measure these stresses x-ray diffraction (XRD) is commonly used. The penetration depth of x-rays is limited for this method and thus, it must be combined with material removal to determine in-depth stress profiles.At SKF Manufacturing Development Center (SKF MDC), where the work for this thesis was carried out, the current layer removal method is restricted to a depth of 0.5 mm. Consequently, an additional method of material removal is necessary to obtain information at greater depths. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate possible material removal techniques that can be implemented with XRD measurements. Two different material removal techniques were studied; electrochemical etching and milling in combination with electrochemical etching. The electrochemical etching equipment was developed at SKF MDC prior to this thesis but needed further testing and validation. The residual stress profiles of induction hardened cylinders were studied using the two different removal techniques combined with XRD measurements and the results were compared with stresses measured by Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) with hole drilling. In addition, the results were compared with simulations performed at SKF MDC India. It was concluded that both the material removal methods could be successfully combined with XRD measurements. However, for practical reasons the methods should be refined before being implemented on a regular basis. Unfortunately, poor correlation between XRD and ESPI measurements were obtained due to reasons not fully understood.

Foreign object damage (FOD) refers to the damage that generally takes place in aero engine fans and compressor blades, due to the ingestion of hard particles/debris during aeroplane take-off, taxiing, or landing. Such damage can reduce the fatigue life expectancy of the turbine engine components by 50%. Residual stresses and small microcracks induced by the high speed FOD impacts are two root causes that result in premature failure of these components. One way to mitigate the FOD related fatigue failure is to induce deep compressive residual stress into the surface. Among the available techniques that can induce such compressive residual stress, laser shock peening (LSP) has been found to be beneficial in improving the fatigue strength. In this study aerofoil-shaped Ti-6Al-4V leading edge specimens were laser shock peened. Subsequently, FOD was introduced onto the leading edge specimen through ballistic impacts of a cube edge at angles of 0° and 45° to the leading edge. The effect of foreign object damage (FOD) on the pre-existing compressive residual stress field associated with the laser shock peening (LSP), and its change upon solely low cycle fatigue (LCF) as well as combined low and high cycle fatigue cycling has been studied. The residual stress distribution and their redistribution upon fatigue cycling were mapped around the FOD notch, using synchrotron X-ray radiation and the contour method. The results suggest that under both impact angles, the FOD event superimposed a significant additional residual stress on top of the pre-existing stress associated with the LSP process. It has been observed that the FOD notch created by 45° impact was asymmetric in shape, and had differential notch depth between the entry and exit side. However, FOD damage that is created at 0° impact appeared as a sharp V notch. A higher amount of residual stresses were produced under 0° impact condition than at 45°. It has been found even though the FOD induced residual stresses relax, residual stresses due to LSP treatment remain highly stable even in the worst condition where a 7 mm long crack was grown from a 45° notch. The plastic zone sizes ahead of a crack tip was estimated for both 0° and 45° FOD impact, and the fatigue crack growth rates are predicted utilizing the measured residual stress distribution.

Automated narrow-gap girth-butt welds are replacing conventional welding methods to join sections of austenitic stainless steel pipe in the primary circuit of Pressurised Water Reactors, to reduce manufacturing costs and improve quality. To ensure the safe operation of these systems, reliable structural integrity assessments have to be undertaken, requiring the mechanical properties of welded joints to be characterised alongside the weld residual stress magnitude and distribution.This research project characterised, for the first time, the weld residual stress field and the tensile and ductile fracture toughness properties of a 33 mm thick narrow-gap 304L stainless steel pipe weld. The residual stress was characterised using two complementary approaches: deep hole drilling and neutron diffraction. A novel neutron diffraction scanning technique was developed to characterise the residual stress field, without cutting an access window into the component, leaving the original weld residual stress field undisturbed. A modified deep hole drilling technique was developed to characterise the residual stress retained in fracture mechanics specimens extracted from the pipe weld in two orientations. The modified technique was shown to measure the original weld residual stress field more accurately than through conventional deep hole drilling. Residual stresses, exceeding 50% of the weld material proof strength, were retained in axially-orientated fracture mechanics specimens.Tensile tests showed that the weld was approximately 60% overmatched. It was demonstrated that neither retained residual stress, nor specimen orientation, had a discernible effect on the measured fracture toughness of the weld material. In less ductile materials, however, the level of retained residual stress may unduly influence the measurement of fracture toughness. At initiation, the fracture toughness properties of both the parent and weld materials were far in excess of the measuring capacity of the largest fracture mechanics specimens that could be machined from the weld.The influence of residual stress and fracture toughness on the performance of narrow-gap welded pipework was investigated. Full elastic-plastic finite element analyses were used to model the pipe weld, containing a postulated defect under combined primary and secondary loading. The results, applied within the framework of an R6 structural integrity assessment, compared different plasticity interaction parameters on the prediction of failure load; the conventional ρ-parameter approach was compared with the recently developed, more advanced, g-parameter. It was shown that the g-parameter significantly reduced the conservatism of the ρ-parameter approach. However, for this pipe weld, plastic collapse was predicted to precede failure by ductile initiation, suggesting that a plastic collapse solution may be an appropriate failure criterion to use in structural integrity assessments of similar component and defect combinations.

Neste trabalho, alguns parâmetros de soldagem foram escolhidos para analisar suas influências nas tensões residuais, obtidas através do método de Deslocamento de Pontos Coordenados (DPC) em chapas de aço naval ASTM A-131 grau AH-36. Chapas de teste com dimensões de 200 mm x 70 mm e 13,7 mm de espessura foram soldadas através do processo Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) seguindo o sentido de laminação. Para análise das tensões, foram escolhidas as condições de referência como: velocidade de soldagem de 6 mm/s, ângulo de bisel de 25° e tensão de soldagem média de 19,63 V. Posteriormente, cada um desses parâmetros foi variado, porém mantendo-se constantes os demais. Deste modo, foi possível estabelecer comparações entre um parâmetro dito padrão e suas variações. Para a chapa padrão, as médias das tensões residuais obtidas foram 138,13 MPa e 153,65 MPa, medidas a 3 mm e 2 mm da borda do cordão de solda, respectivamente. Para as amostras nas quais houve redução da velocidade de soldagem de 6mm/s para 3,5mm/s, as médias das tensões residuais medidas foram 34,67 MPa e 42,32 MPa, a 3 mm e 2mm da borda do cordão de solda, respectivamente. Para as amostras soldadas nas quais o ângulo de bisel foi aumentado de 25° para 35°, as médias das tensões residuais medidas foram 28,29 MPa e 31,96 MPa, a 3 mm e 2 mm da borda do cordão de solda, respectivamente. Por fim, para o aumento da tensão de soldagem média de 19,63 V para 26,48 V, as média das tensões residuais calculadas foram 50,81 Mpa e 47,39 MPa, a 3 mm e 2 mm da borda do cordão de solda, respectivamente. As tensões residuais calculadas apresentaram comportamentos esperados. Assim, foi evidenciado como a mudança de parâmetros de soldagem influencia de forma significativa as tensões residuais na peça soldada. / Choosing welding parameters is an important step of the welding process, which may influence directly in the heat input provided. In this study, some welding parameters were selected in order to analyze their influences in calculating residual stresses through Displacement of Coordinated Points (DCP) method in ASTM A-131 grade AH36 naval steel sheets. Samples with 200 mm x 70 mm and 13,7 mm thickness were welded through Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process according to rolling direction. To analyze the stresses, standard conditions were defined, such as welding speed of 6 mm/s, bevel angle of 25°, average welding voltage of 19,63 V. Then, each parameter was switched, however, only one at a time, keeping the rest of them constant. This way it was possible to establish comparisons between a standard parameter's value and its variation. For the standard sample, the average residual stresses found were 138,13 MPa and 153,65 MPa, by 3 mm and 2 mm from bead margin, respectively. For the samples in which welding speed was lowered from 6 mm/s to 3,5 mm/s, the average measured residual stresses were 34,67 MPa and 42,32 MPa, by 3 mm and 2 mm from bead margin, respectively. For the welded samples in which bevel angle was increased from 25° to 35°, the average measured residual stresses were 28,29 MPa and 31,96 MPa, by 3 mm and 2 mm from bead margin, respectively. Finally, for an increase in average welding voltage from 19,63 V to 26,48 V, the average calculated residual stresses were 50,81 MPa and 47,39 MPa, by 3 mm and 2 mm from bead margin. The calculated residual stresses presented as expected. It was evidenced how changing welding parameters would influence the residual stresses in a welded component in a significant way.

O processo de roleteamento é um tratamento superficial, comumente utilizado em peças fabricadas em aços e ferros fundidos nodulares, em regiões onde há concentradores de tensões, com o intuito de melhorar as propriedades de resistência à fadiga. Este processo endurece e introduz tensões residuais compressivas na camada superficial do material, através de deformação controlada, provocando uma redução das tensões de tração que atuam na superfície da peça submetida a carregamentos cíclicos. Este trabalho teve como principal objetivo o estudo do efeito do roleteamento superficial sobre o comportamento em fadiga de um ferro fundido nodular de matriz perlítica, utilizado na fabricação de virabrequins pela indústria automobilística. Foram realizados ensaios de fadiga por flexão rotativa em corpos de prova lisos e com entalhe. Os corpos de prova com entalhe foram divididos em dois grupos, com e sem roleteamento superficial. Foi utilizado entalhe com geometria semicircular com raio de 1,20mm e profundidade de 0,70mm. Para o processo de roleteamento foi utilizado um rolete com diâmetro de 15,00mm e com raio de curvatura de 1,30mm e aplicada uma força de compressão de 2390N. A introdução de tensões residuais compressivas pelo trabalho a frio, dificultou a nucleação e a propagação de trincas na camada superficial dos entalhes roleteados. Isto ficou evidenciado pelo aumento do valor do limite de fadiga para 483MPa obtido para o material entalhado e roleteado, enquanto que para o material nas condições de sem entalhe e somente entalhado estes valores foram de 300MPa e 168Mpa, respectivamente. / Surface rolling is a mechanical treatment commonly used in parts fabricated with steel and ductile cast iron, specifically in stress concentration regions, to improve fatigue properties. This process hardens and introduces compressive residual stresses to the surface of the material through the application of controlled strains, thus provoking a reduction of resulting tensile stress at its surface under cyclic loading. This work deals with the effect of surface rolling on high cycle fatigue behavior of a pearlitic ductile cast iron used in crankshaft by automotive industries. Rotating bending fatigue tests were performed in both smooth and notched specimens. The notched specimens were divided into two groups: with and without surface rolling treatment. The specimens notch geometry was semicircular with radius of 1.20mm and depth of 0.70mm. The rolling treatment was carried out using a roller with diameter of 15,00mm, curvature radius of 1.30mm and a compression force of 2390N. The introduction of compressive residual stresses under cold work made difficult the nucleation and propagation of the crack on the rolled surface of the notch. It was confirmed by the increase of the endurance limit of the surface rolled specimens to 483MPa in comparison with the smooth and notched specimens, respectively, 300MPa and 168 MPa.

Selective laser melting (SLM) is a new and rapidly developing manufacturing method for producing full-density, geometrically complex metal parts. The SLM process is time and cost effective for small-scale production; however, wide-spread adoption of this technique is severely limited by residual stresses that can cause large deformations and in-process build failures. The issues associated with residual stress accumulation are most apparent in parts with overhanging features. Due to the complexity of the SLM process, the accumulation of residual stresses is difficult to assess a priori. The deformations and in-process failures caused by residual stress accumulation often lead to an expensive and time consuming iterative manufacturing process. To aid in the development of general SLM design guidelines for overhanging features, the effect of varying two support structure design parameters on residual stress accumulation were investigated. A part-scale thermo-mechanical finite element model was implemented using Diablo, a multi-physics finite element code developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and trends observed in the model were validated experimentally. By comparing the distribution and magnitude of residual stresses, it was determined that reducing cooling rate gradients in overhanging features reduces the resulting residual stresses. Additionally, it was shown that volume effective material properties can be used to reduce computational costs in computational models of the SLM process.

This master thesis focuses on analysing the origins of residual stress in material caused by face milling. Representatives of three groups of aluminum alloys (5000, 6000, 7000) are compared by measurements. For measuring of the residual stress in aluminum alloys, the hole-drilling method was used by applying tensometric rosettes. In order to determine the influence of the used milling cutters', flatness of the machined surface was analyzed by comparative method. The thesis concludes with a discussion and an overall evaluation of the results.

Master thesis deals with the influence of milling to resulting surface integrity of gear tested by Barkhausen Noise Analysis technique. Two sets of gears milled by different machines by comparable parameters were used to solve the task. The testing of surface integrity was carried out after heat treatment and final grinding. It was experimentaly approved the effected surface/subsurface damage caused by milling remains in the material through the heat treatment. Based on these results, it can be assumed that different milling affects the resulting surface integrity after HT.
