Residual Stress Analysis in Swage Autofrettaged Thick-Walled Cylinders by Position-Sensitive X-Ray Diffraction Techniques
Abstract
Experimental and theoretical investigations were made for swage autofrettage partially plastic ASTM A723 steel cylinders with an outside diameter (OD) to inside diameter (ID) ratio of 2.75 and 74 percent overstrain. Residual stress radial distribution and angular stress distribution around the bore were analyzed using two position-sensitive x-ray diffraction stress analyzers. Theoretical calculation was made by implementing an interactive, iterative Lotus Works spreadsheet residual stress model on an IBM PC. The model was based on the classical solution to the elastic-plastic deformation problem of a symmetric thick walled cylinder under internal pressure, including reverse yielding effect. Angular stress distribution data at the ID and OD indicated that non-axisymmetric deformation had occurred during yielding of the cylinders. Excellent agreement was obtained between experimental results and theoretical predictions, including the Bauschinger effect near the bore. By comparing experimental data with theoretical calculations for the 74 percent overstrained cylinders, the Bauschinger factor for the A723 steel was determined to be close to 0.5. Residual stress analysis for the entire cylinder is suggested in the future.
