The ‘Contour Method’ is a relatively new relaxation method for residual stress measurement and may be seen as an evolution of established methods such as hole drilling. The general procedure when applying the Contour Method is cutting, measurement and calculation of residual stress normal to the cut plane using Bueckner’s principle of elastic superposition. That is the residual stresses are determined from the measured profile of a cut surface. While the Contour Method is simple in concept there are certain underlying issues relating to the cutting process that may lead to uncertainties in the measured results. Principally the issues are that of constraint and plasticity during the cutting process and the influence that they have on the measured residual stresses. Both of these aspects have been investigated in previous work by simulating the entire contour measurement method process using finite element techniques for ‘simple’ flat plate welded specimens. Here that work is further investigated and extended by application to a 316 Stainless Steel welded pipe structure containing a part-circumferential repair. This more complex structure and residual stress field is of significantly greater engineering interest. The key objective of this work is to ascertain the feasibility of and further our understanding of the performance of the Contour Method. Furthermore this work has the potential to provide a method to support the optimisation of the contour measurement process when applied to more complex engineering components.

An innovative X-ray diffractometer especially designed for residual stress measurements was deployed at the Institute of Physical Metallurgy, Metalforming and Nanotechnology of the University of Miskolc. The advantages of the equipment over the traditional X-ray diffraction stress measuring methods are presented through our experiences on industrial components with varying sizes, geometries and measurement requirements. The microstructural limitations of the X-ray diffraction based residual stress measurement method are also discussed.
