High tensile weld residual stress is an important factor contributing to stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Ultrasonic impact treatment (UIT) can produce compressive stresses on the surface of welded joints that negate the tensile stresses to enhance the SCC resistance of welded joints. In the present work, X-ray diffraction method was used to obtain the distribution of residual stress induced by UIT. The results showed that UIT could cause a large compressive residual stress up to 325.9MPa on the surface of the material. A 3D finite element model was established to simulate the UIT process by using a finite element software ABAQUS. The residual stress distribution of the AISI 304 stainless steel induced by UIT was predicted by finite element analysis. In order to demonstrate the improvement of the SCC resistance of the welded joints, the specimens were immersed in boiling 42% magnesium chloride solution during SCC testing, and untreated specimen cracked after immersion for 23 hours. In contrast, treated specimens with different coverage were tested for 1000 hours without visible stress corrosion cracks. The microstructure observation results revealed that a hardened layer was formed on the surface and the initial coarse-grained structure in the surface was refined into ultrafine grains. The above results indicate that UIT is an effective approach for protecting weldments against SCC.

In the present work, X-ray diffraction method was used to obtain the distribution of residual stress induced by UIT. The results showed that UIT could cause a large compressive residual stress in access of 300 MPa on the surface of the material. A 3D finite element model was established to simulate the UIT process by using the finite element software ABAQUS. The residual stress distribution of the AISI 304 stainless steel induced by UIT was predicted by finite element analysis. In order to demonstrate the improvement of the SCC resistance of the welded joints, the specimens were immersed in boiling 42% magnesium chloride solution during SCC testing, and untreated specimen cracked after immersion for 23 h. In contrast, treated specimens with different impact duration were tested for 1000 h without visible stress corrosion cracks. The microstructure observation results revealed that a hardened layer was formed on the surface and the initial coarse-grained structure in the surface was refined into ultrafine grains. The above results indicate that UIT is an effective approach for protecting weldments against SCC.

The distribution and value of welding residual stress for 1Cr18Ni9 stainless steel stud welding joints was systemically simulated by ANSYS FE software. The mathematical estimating models of strength of the welded joints were established. Simulation results showed that the welding residual stress was tensile at the edge of the stud, while it was compressive stress at the position near axis center. The largest tensile stress did not exceed yield limit of material. The residual stress had more influence on the strength of welded joints.

Water jet cavitation peening is applied to improve the strength and mechanical properties of the friction-welded joints of titanium alloys. Scanning electron microscopy observations of the microstructure of the welded joints and welded area before/after water jet cavitation peening confirm slip dislocation at the microstructure near the surface of the specimens. The residual stress on the surface of the welded joint is measured by X-ray diffraction. The results indicate the effect of peening time on the strength of compressive residual stress.

Stress relief treatments were carried out separately with a pneumatic chipping hammer, ultrasonic peening treatment, and heat treatment for metal active-gas welding (MAG) welded joints of 2205 duplex stainless steel. The effects of these methods on the residual stress, microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of welded joints were studied. Results show the stress state of the weld and the surrounding area was effectively improved by the pneumatic chipping hammer and ultrasonic peening treatment, and the residual stress field of the surface layer changed from tensile stress to compressive stress. On the contrary, low-temperature stress relieving annealing had no obvious effect on stress distribution. After the pneumatic chipping hammer and ultrasonic peening treatment, the welded joints were machined and hardened. Correspondingly, strength and hardness were improved. However, the heat treatment only led to a slight decrease in strength and hardness due to the static recovery of the welded joint structure. All stress relief methods effectively improved the corrosion resistance of welded joints, with the ultrasonic peening treatment giving the best performance.

Recently, stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of primary piping of stainless steel has been observed. SCC is considered to initiate and progress at near the welding zone in butt-welded pipes, because of the tensile residual stress introduced by welding. In present work, three-dimensional and axisymmetric thermo-elastic-plastic finite element analyses have been carried out, in order to clarify the effect of geometrical and welding conditions on through-thickness residual stress. In particular, butt-welding joints of SUS316L pipes have been examined. The residual stress was simulated by three-dimensional and axisymmetric models and the results were compared and discussed in detail.
