COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF METHODS FOR MEASURING RESIDUAL STRESSES IN A NICKEL ALLOY AFTER LASER SHOCK PEENING

DOI: 10.17804/2410-9908.2025.4.065-086

The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation of residual stress profiles obtained by the method of X-ray diffraction with layer removal and the hole-drilling method and to validate the numerical model of the residual stress formation process in Inconel 718 nickel alloy plates after laser shock peening. Three laser shock peening modes, differing in power density and the number of processing layers, are used to generate residual stress fields of different depths and magnitudes. It has been found that a direct quantitative comparison of these methods is incorrect due to differences in their physical principles. It is shown that the hole-drilling method is more indicative of the effect of the processing modes on residual stress profiles since it is sensitive to the plastic strain induced by intense laser shock loading. Based on the experimental data obtained by this method, the numerical model has been validated. It has been proved that a single set of model parameters provides an adequate prediction of residual stress fields when the laser shock peening process parameters are varied.

СРАВНИТЕЛЬНЫЙ АНАЛИЗ МЕТОДОВ ИЗМЕРЕНИЯ ОСТАТОЧНЫХ НАПРЯЖЕНИЙ В НИКЕЛЕВОМ СПЛАВЕ ПОСЛЕ ЛАЗЕРНОЙ УДАРНОЙ ОБРАБОТКИ

Цель настоящей работы – оценка корреляции профилей остаточных напряжений, полученных методом рентгеновской дифракции с послойным травлением и методом сверления отверстия, а также валидация численной модели процесса формирования остаточных напряжений в пластинах из никелевого сплава Inconel 718 после лазерной ударной обработки. Для формирования полей остаточных напряжений различной глубины и амплитуды были применены три режима лазерной ударной обработки, различающиеся плотностью мощности и количеством слоев обработки. Установлено, что прямое количественное сравнение данных методов некорректно ввиду различий их физических принципов. Показано, что метод сверления отверстия в большей степени отражает влияние режимов обработки на профили остаточных напряжений, поскольку он чувствителен к пластической деформации, индуцированной интенсивным лазерным ударным воздействием. На основе экспериментальных данных, полученных этим методом, выполнена валидация численной модели. Доказано, что единый набор параметров модели обеспечивает адекватный прогноз полей остаточных напряжений при изменении технологических параметров лазерной ударной обработки.
