A diffraction spot trace method (DSTM) was developed to measure internal stresses of materials with coarse grains. The DSTM was applied to light metals, such as aluminum alloy and magnesium alloy. In this study, validity of the DSTM was examined using high energy synchrotron X-rays of 70 keV. The specimen was a welded plate of austenitic stainless steel (SUS316L). The thickness of the specimen was 9 mm. The improved rotating slit-system was used, and PILATUS was used as an area detector. It was difficu...

Evaluation of Welding Residual Stresses in Austenitic Stainless Steel Using Diffraction Spot Trace Method

Deformation and recrystallization mechanisms are worthy of a note as the controls in properties of metallic materials. In this study, deformation and recrystallization of aluminum single crystal were in-situ observed using synchrotron X-rays, and the recrystallization behavior was obtained. The specimen was deformed with plastic strain of 8 %, and was heated at 753 K. after 6 minutes from heating, the diffraction from subgrains were appeared in the diffraction pattern of the initial crystal. The subgrains c...

In-situ Observation during Deformation and Recrystallization of Aluminum Single Crystal using Synchrotron Radiation

In order to ensure the long-term safety of the vitrified radioactive waste, the relationship between number of stirring and characteristics of material strength after melting the raw material glass and simulated vitrified radioactive waste were investigated by synchrotron radiation X-rays. As a result, it was clarified that the internal defects in simulated vitrified radioactive waste increased and the material strength of simulated vitrified radioactive waste was suitable as increasing the number of stirri...

The spiral slit-system and DSTM (diffraction spot trace method) are under development in order to evaluate internal stresses of materials with coarse grains. The spiral slit-system was improved so that the length of the gauge volume is independent of the diffraction angle. The bending stress in the specimen with coarse grains was measured in order to confirm performance of this advanced spiral slit-system. The distribution of the measured bending stress coincided with the applied bending stress. As a r...

Evaluation of Residual Stresses inWelded Part using Hard Synchrotron X-Rays

In this study, a residual stress distribution in a dissimilar plate butt-welded joint was simulated by a thermo-elastic finite element method. The base metal was the austenitic stainless steel SUS316L. The other base metal was nickel super-alloy NCF600, and the weld metal was the alloy 82 (YNiCr-3). The dimensions of the plate butt-welded joint were a width of 200 mm, a length of 250 mm and a thickness of 25 mm. The welding joint was fabricated by TIG welding with 22 passes. For comparison, the residu...

In this study, stress measurements were performed using a double exposure method with hard synchrotron monochromatic X-rays, and its validity was proved. The diffractions of the shrink-?tted ring of austenitic stainless steel SUS304 were measured by the CdTe pixel detector. The used X-rays were 70, 80 and 90 keV. The measured stress distributions with the 311 diffraction of γ-Fe corresponded to the predicted result. In addition, The stress distribution of the shrink-?tted ring was measured by the CCD camera...
