Wire+ arc additive manufacturing components contain significant residual stresses, which
manifest in distortion. High-pressure rolling was applied to each layer of a linear Ti–6Al–4V …

The contour method determines residual stress by cutting a specimen into two pieces and
measuring surface height maps, or contours, on the free surfaces created by the cut. The …

Accurate measurement of residual stress in metallic components using the contour method
relies on the achievement of a good quality cut, on the appropriate measurement of the …

Determining residual stresses in thin-walled pipes is challenging. They are potentially
difficult targets for simulation, because they may not behave as simple axisymmetric …

Abstract Development of residual stress of high magnitude, to the extent of material yield
strength and in some cases higher than yield strength, is one of the major challenges faced …

This paper describes a methodology for the estimation of measurement uncertainty for the
contour method, where the contour method is an experimental technique for measuring a …

The formation of internal stresses during quenching of titanium alloys from the β phase field
are investigated both experimentally and by simulation, in order to show the effects of phase …

An engineering-scale stainless steel pipe girth weld was manufactured and the ultrasonic
impact treatment (UIT) was applied to treat the local region of the girth weld. The as-welded …

The multiple cut contour method is applied to map longitudinal and transverse components
of residual stress in two nominally identical 50 mm thick electron beam welded Ti-6Al-4V …

Management of operating nuclear power plants greatly relies on structural integrity
assessments for safety critical pressure vessels and piping components. In the present work …
