Feszültségmaradványok

Feszültségmaradványok refers to residual stresses that remain within a material after manufacturing or processing. These stresses are internal and can be present in solids, particularly metals, plastics, and ceramics. They arise from various sources, including the manufacturing process itself, such as casting, welding, machining, or heat treatment. External forces applied to a material during its service life can also induce residual stresses.

The presence of feszültségmaradványok can have significant implications for a material's performance. Tensile residual stresses can reduce the material's fatigue life and susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking, as they effectively reduce the applied stress required to initiate failure. Conversely, compressive residual stresses can enhance the material's resistance to fatigue and crack propagation.

Methods for measuring residual stresses include destructive techniques like layer removal (e.g., trepanning or sectioning) and non-destructive techniques such as X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, and ultrasonic testing. These techniques work by analyzing the strain or lattice distortion caused by the residual stress field.

Managing residual stresses is crucial in many engineering applications. Techniques to reduce or redistribute unfavorable tensile residual stresses include heat treatments (e.g., stress relief annealing), mechanical treatments (e.g., shot peening, autofrettage), and surface treatments. Understanding and controlling feszültségmaradványok is therefore a vital aspect of material selection, design, and manufacturing to ensure the integrity and longevity of components.
