Abstract
Residual stresses induced by two shot peening conditions in nickel bas e superalloy Inconel 718 and their relaxation after different exposure times (10 and 100 h) at 600 and 650 degrees C were evaluated by an X- ray diffraction technique. The behaviour of stress relaxation (effects of exposure time and applied temperature) is particularly analysed an d discussed. A significant decrease of the initial stress values was o bserved in the first period of exposure time, followed by slowing down and then stabilisation. Experimental results showed that the maximum relaxation always occurred at the surface. It was also observed that a higher applied temperature produced greater relaxation, but had no si gnificant effect on the pattern of the depth profile of stress. The re laxation mechanism is essentially interpreted by thermal recovery char acterised by a rapid annihilation of the unstable crystalline defects in highly deformed materials. Complex changes of various microscopic m agnitudes under high temperature are described by macroscopic magnitud es related to the plastic strains and associated residual stresses. An existing model is developed and actualised by integrating the limitin g state of recovery and the integrated width of X-ray diffraction peak s in order to predict relaxation of the residual stresses. The relaxat ion predicted by the model agrees satisfactorily with the experimental results in the studied cases.
