Scope1.1 This test method covers a procedure for experimentallydetermining the effective elastic parame
5、ter, Eeff, for the evalu-ation of residual and applied stresses by X-ray diffractiontechniques. The effective elastic parameter relates macroscopicstress to the strain measured in a particular crystallographicdirection in polycrystalline samples. Eeffshould not be con-fused with E, the modulus of el

The effective elasticparameter is influenced by elastic anisotropy and preferredorientation of the sample material.1.2 This test method is applicable to all X-ray diffrac

Summary of Test Method4.1 A test specimen is prepared from a material that isrepresentative of that of the object in which residual stressmeasurements are to be made.NOTE 1If a sample of the same material
18、is available it should be used.4.2 The test specimen is instrumented with an electricalresistance strain gage, mounted in a location that experiencesthe same stress as the region that will be subsequentlyirradiated with X-rays.4.3 The test specimen is calibrated by loading it in such amanner that th
19、e stress, where the strain gage is mounted, isdirectly calculable, and a calibration curve relating the straingage reading to the stress is developed.4.4 The test specimen is mounted in a loading fixture in anX-ray diffraction apparatus, and sequentially loaded to severalload levels.4.4.1 The change
20、 in interplanar spacing is measured foreach load level and related to the corresponding stress that isdetermined from the strain gage reading and the calibrationcurve.4.5 The effective elastic parameter and its standard devia-tion are calculated from the test results.5. Significance and Use5.1 This
21、test method provides standard procedures forexperimentally determining the effective elastic parameter forX-ray diffraction measurement of residual and applied stresses.It also provides a standard means of reporting the precision ofthe parameter.5.2 This test method is applicable to any crystalline
22、materialwhich exhibits a linear relationship between stress and strain inthe elastic range.5.3 This test method should be used whenever residualstresses are to be evaluated by an X-ray diffraction techniqueand the effective elastic parameter of the material is unknown.6. Apparatus6.1 Any X-ray diffr
23、action instrument intended for measure-ments of residual macrostress that employs measurements ofthe diffraction peaks in the high back-reflection region may beused, including film camera types, diffractometers, and por-table systems.6.2 A loading fixture is required to apply loads to the testspecim
24、en while it is being irradiated in the X-ray diffractioninstrument.6.2.1 The fixture shall be designed such that the surfacestress applied by the fixture shall be uniform over the irradiatedarea of the specimen.6.2.2 The fixture shall maintain the irradiated surface of thespecimen at the exact cente
25、r of rotation of the X-ray diffractioninstrument throughout the test with sufficient precision toprovide the desired levels of precision and bias in the mea-surements to be made.6.2.3 The fixture may be designed to apply tensile orbending loads. A four-point bending technique such as thatdescribed b
26、y Prevey3is most commonly used.6.3 Electrical resistance strain gages are mounted upon thetest specimen to enable it to be accurately stressed to knownlevels.7. Test Specimens7.1 Test specimens should be fabricated from material withmicrostructure as nearly the same as possible as that in themateria
27、l in which residual stresses are to be evaluated.7.2 For use in tensile or four-point bending fixtures, speci-mens should be rectangular in shape.7.2.1 The length of tensile specimens, between grips, shallbe not less than four times the width, and the width-to-thickness ratio shall not exceed eight.
28、7.2.2 For use in four-point bending fixtures, specimensshould have a length-to-width ratio of at least four. Thespecimen width should be sufficient to accommodate straingages (see 7.5) and the width-to-thickness ratio should begreater than one and consistent with the method used tocalculate the appl
29、ied stresses in 8.1.NOTE 2Nominal dimensions often used for specimens for four-pointbending fixtures are 4.0 3 0.75 3 0.06 in. (10.2 3 1.9 3 0.15 cm).7.3 Tapered specimens for use in cantilever bending fix-tures, and split-ring samples, are also acceptable.7.4 Specimen surfaces may be electropolishe
30、d or as-rolledsheet or plate.7.5 One or more electrical resistance strain gages is affixedto the test specimen in accordance with Guide E 1237. Thegage(s) should be aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of thespecimen, and should be mounted on a region of the specimenthat experiences the same st
31、rain as the region that is to beirradiated. The gage(s) should be applied to the irradiatedsurface of the beam either adjacent to, or on either side of, theirradiated area in order to minimize errors due to the absenceof a pure tensile or bending load.NOTE 3In the case of four-point bending fixtures
32、 the gage(s) shouldbe placed well inside the inner span of the specimen in order to minimizethe stress concentration effects associated with the inner knife edges.3Prevey, P.

Calibration8.1 Calibrate the instrumented specimen using loads appliedby dead weights or by a testing machine that has been verifiedaccording to Practices E4. The loading configuration is suchthat the
34、applied stresses, in the region where the strain gagesare mounted and where X-ray diffraction measurements will bemade, are statically determinate (that is, may be calculatedfrom the applied loads and the dimensions of the specimen andthe fixture).8.2 Prestress the specimen by loading to a level of
35、approxi-mately 75 % of the load that is calculated to produce amaximum applied stress equal to the nominal yield strength ofthe material, then unload. This will minimize drift in the gagesand creep in the strain gage adhesive during the subsequenttesting procedure.8.3 Apply loads in increasing seque
36、nce at levels of approxi-mately 5, 15, and 25 % of the load that would produce amaximum applied stress equal to the nominal yield strength ofthe material.8.4 At each load level calculate the applied stress and takestrain gage readings.8.5 Apply loads in decreasing sequence at levels of approxi-matel
37、y 15 and 5 %, calculating the applied stress and takingstrain gage readings at each level.8.6 Repeat 8.3-8.5.8.7 Examine the data for repeatability and linearity. Devia-tions from either may indicate the failure of a strain gage bond,stressing beyond the proportional limit of the material, or animpe
38、rfect loading configuration. If the deviations exceed theacceptable degree of uncertainty in the subsequent measure-ments of residual stress, the source of the deviations should belocated and corrected before proceeding further.8.8 If the repeatability and the linearity of the data areacceptable, pl
39、ot a graph of applied stress versus strain gagereading, draw a straight line through the data, and extrapolateit down to zero applied stress and up to 75 % of the nominalyield strength of the material. This is the calibration curve. (SeeFig. 1.)NOTE 4For bending specimens, the strain indicated by th
40、e straingage(s) differs in magnitude from the strain in the specimen surfacebecause of the elevation of the strain gage grid above the surface. Thisdoes not affect the accuracy of the procedure.9. Procedure9.1 The X-ray diffraction technique, the crystallographicplanes, the c angle, and the instrume
41、ntation that are used todetermine the effective elastic parameter of the material shouldbe the same as those to be used subsequently to measureresidual stresses in objects of the same material.9.2 Mount the calibrated specimen in the loading fixture andmount the fixture in the X-ray diffraction inst
42、rument.9.2.1 When using a bending fixture the arrangement shouldbe such that the irradiated surface of the specimen is stressedin tension.9.3 Load the specimen with the loading fixture whilemonitoring the strain gage readings. Using the calibrationcurve to convert strain gage readings to applied str
43、esses, applystresses in increasing sequence at levels of approximately 5,20, 40, 60, and 70 % of the nominal yield strength of thematerial. The prestress level, 75 %, must not be exceeded.9.4 At each stress level calculate the change in interplanarspacing, Dd, between the c = 0 and c = c orientation
44、s for theparticular crystallographic planes and c angles used.9.5 Apply stresses in decreasing sequence at levels ofapproximately 60, 40, 20, and 5 %, measuring the change inthe interplanar spacing at each level.9.6 Repeat 9.3-9.5.9.7 Examine the data for repeatability and linearity, includ-ing the
45、difference in the strain data between plus and minus psiangles. Deviations from either may indicate the failure of astrain gage bond, failure of the fixture to apply the correctloading, or deviation from the proper X-ray geometry. Thelatter source of error, when present, is often caused by failureto
46、 maintain the irradiated area of the specimen surface at theexact center of the diffractometer while the specimen is underload. If the deviations exceed the acceptable degree of uncer-tainty in the subsequent measurements of residual stress, thesource of the deviations should be located and correcte
