Control of Residual Stress in Practice

THIS paper discusses the following phases of the residual stress problem, each section containing copious references to work done in the field:

1.
General effects of residual stresses.
2.
Classification of control measures.
3.
Control of residual-stress failures due to mechanical loads plus chemical factors.
4.
Control of season cracking and related failures.
5.
Control of residual stress to raise fatigue strength.
6.
Control in parts loaded statically and in impact.
7.
Strengthening of parts by shrinking and overstraining.
8.
Dimensional stability and other physical properties.
