Tensile residual stresses are very often generated on the surface when machining nickel alloys. In order to determine their influence on the final mechanical behaviour of the component residual stress stability should be ...

The distortion of components is strongly related to the residual stress state induced by manufacturing processes like heat treatment, forming or machining. Each process step affects the initial stress state of the following ...

Large aluminium monolithic parts used in the aeronautic industry frequently show significant geometric distortions after the machining process. These distortions are the consequence of the initial residual stresses of the ...
