Abstract

An X-ray diffraction technique was used to measure residual stresses in Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V sheet created by glass-bead peening, sand and aluminum oxide blasting, and a vibratory tumbling treatment. For peening and blasting, the use of larger particle sizes produced greater compressive stresses. In the case of the vibratory treatment, an increase in vibratory frequency or treatment time increased the compressive stress. Glass-bead peening caused a 10% reduction in yield strength while the other treatments had little effect on the tensile properties. Significant stress relaxation occurred in all the treated Ti-6Al-4V coupons exposed at 600° and 800°F.
