Generation and Determination of Compressive Residual Stresses of Short Penetration Depths

Article Preview

Abstract:

Generating compressive residual stress states with high gradients and low penetration depths offers high capability regarding increase of fatigue limit of parts. In this work the determination of such specific residual stress distributions by using X-ray diffraction and a little material removal is introduced. Measurements are compared using two interference peaks of different penetration depths, at which confocal microscopy enables high accuracy in determination of the step sizes in electrochemical machining. Furthermore the realisation of these states by two different peening processes using micro blasting media is described. The suitability of the processes micro peening and ultrasonic wet peening as surface treatment methods to improve fatigue limit are shown. Micro peening is based on the shot peening principle with small shots and ultrasonic wet peening on the acceleration of small blasting particles by cavitation. The investigations were conducted at AISI 4140 in a quenched and tempered state. Besides the residual stresses and the integral width of interference peaks as well as the depth distributions, the surface topography was examined. The beneficial effects of these conditions on the fatigue limit in bending tests are described.
