Abstract

The two-angle and Sin2ψ methods of x-ray diffraction, residual stress measurement have been shown to yield anomalous results When applied to samples which have been plastically deformed uniaxially in tension or by rolling. These anomalous stresses, which are not true mechanical macrostresses, have been shown to arise from a nonlinear dependence,of d, the interplanar spacing employed for stress measurement, upon Sin2 ψ. A new method of x-ray diffraction stress measurement has been developed by Marion and Cohen which aLlows the separation of the Linear and nonlinear components of the dependence of d upon Sin2 ψ.

The two-angle and the Marion-Cohen x-ray diffraction methods are applied to the measurement of residual stresses in the machined and shot peened surfaces of steel and aluminum samples. The results indicate that machining deformation results in a nearly linear dependence of d upon Sin2ψ , and onLy a slight deformation texture. The two x-ray methods yield stress values in ground, turned, and shot peened steel and aluminum samples which agree within the estimated experimental error. Previous results are sighted showing agreement between the two-angle method and a mechanical stress measurement technique. The results indicate that, at least in steels, the multiaxial plastic deformation produced by machining does not significantly effect the accuracy of the two-angle x-ray diffraction stress mea surement method.
