Comparison of Two Procedures for Reliable Measurement of Residual Stress in Carburized Steels by Magnetic Barkhausen Noise Method

2018-06-15
Sign, magnitude and distribution of residual stresses are extremely important for service performance and useful life of engineering components. Hence, monitoring their variation (qualitative approach) and measuring their magnitudes (quantitative approach) are critical issues in the manufacturing chain. Various destructive and semi-destructive methods exist to measure residual stresses; however, a rapid and reliable nondestructive method will be more appropriate for industrial applications. Recently the magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) method has gained importance for non-destructive determination of residual stresses in ferromagnetic materials. However, this method has some challenges due to mixed influences of residual stress and microstructure that require careful pre-calibration and verification procedures for obtaining reliable quantitative results. This paper presents the comparison of two MBN procedures for measurement of surface residual stresses in the carburized steels. Carburizing is a widely used surface treatment process that creates compressive residual stress state at the surface-near region, and thus, it remarkably improves the wear resistance and fatigue performance of low-C low-alloys steels. In the experiments 19CrNi5H and 21NiCrMo2 samples were carburized for at 900oC for different periods, and then, tempered in the range of 180oC and 600oC. In the first procedure, the MBN parameters were optimized and then MBN-r.m.s. values were correlated with the results of XRD stress measurements. In the second procedure, a pre-calibration technique based on instantaneous MBN measurements on the samples during tension/compression loading was applied. The results of two procedures were compared and discussed by focusing on reliability and applicability of the MBN method for measurement of residual stresses in industry.

Review of Residual Stress Measurement by Magnetic Barkhausen Noise Technique
Gür, Cemil Hakan (2018-01-01)
Determination of residual stress state is important for quality, integrity, and service performance of the components and structures. Almost all manufacturing processes cause considerable amounts of residual stress; thus, any process or product design ignoring it involves a risk for distortion or early failure. Among the existing methods, the magnetic Barkhausen noise method has been gaining attention for measuring residual stresses nondestructively in ferromagnetic materials. It is sensitive to the interac...
INVESTIGATION OF FATIGUE CRACK BEHAVIOR ON NEAR THRESHOLD REGION OF AISI 4340 STEELS FOR DIFFERENT HEAT TREATMENT CONDITIONS
Çalışkan, Salim; Gürbüz, Rıza; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2023-1-27)
Damage tolerant approach is an important phenomenon in engineering practice and must be evaluated at the onset of the design stage for components that are subject to cyclic loading during functioning; if not, devastating fatigue failure may occur. Inaccurate assessments in allowable fatigue data can cause substantial variation in fatigue limit evaluation for components with small crack size. Determining long crack threshold value as a design criterion is not a new research topic; even so, some anomalies ari...
Evaluation of displacement coefficient method for seismically retrofitted buildings with various ductility capacities
Dicleli, Murat (Wiley, 2014-07-25)
This research study is aimed at evaluating the accuracy of the displacement coefficient method (DCM) of FEMA 440 and associated nonlinear static procedure (NLSP) for actual buildings with soft story mechanism and various ductility capacities. The DCM and associated NLSP are evaluated using two existing seismically vulnerable buildings with soft story mechanism. The buildings are first retrofitted using a ductile steel-brace-link system to represent those with good ductility capacity and then retrofitted wit...
Determination of the 1st buckling and collapse loads for integrally stiffened panels by artificial neural network and design of experiment methodology
Güzel, Şükran Gizem; Gürses, Ercan (2021-01-22)
Buckling is a structural instability that load carrying capacity of a structural element may suddenly decrease. This sudden change in the load carrying capacity may cause catastrophic failures. Therefore, determination of the first buckling and collapse loads of structural elements is essential. FE analyses and structural testing are used to determine buckling characteristics of a structural element. However, in early design stages, FE analyses are time consuming and structural testing is costly. In this pa...
