Abstract
Thick-walled cylinders, such as a cannon or nuclear reactor, are autofrettaged to induce advantageous residual stresses into pressure vessels and to increase operating pressure and the fatigue lifetimes. As the autofrettage level increases, the magnitude of compressive residual stress at the bore also increases. The purpose of the present paper is to predict the accurate residual stress of SCM440 high strength steel using the Kendall model which was adopted by ASME Code. Hydraulic pressure process was applied in the inner part and thick-walled cylinders were autofrettaged up to 30% overstrain levels. Electro polishing on the surface of autofrettage specimen was performed to get more accurate residual stress. Residual stresses were measured by X-ray diffraction method. The autofrettage surface which was plastically deformed analyzed using a scanning electron microscope(SEM). Although there were some differences in measured residual stress and numerical results, it has a tendency to agree comparatively with each other.
자주포 또는 원자로와 같은 두꺼운 실린더는 압력용기 내부에 유익한 잔류 압축응력을 유도하여 작용압력과 피로수명을 증가시키도록 자긴 가공되고 있다. 자긴가공도가 증가하면 구멍에서 압축잔류응력의 크기도 증가한다. 본연구의 목적은 ASME 코드에 의해 적용된 Kendall 모델을 이용하여 고강도 SCM440 강의 정확한 잔류응력을 예측하는 것이다. SCM440 후육실린더의 내부에 유압이 적용되고 30% 변형률까지 자긴 가공하였다. 자긴가공된 시편은 전해연마하고 X-ray 회절법을 이용하여 정확한 잔류응력을 산출하도록 하였다. 그리고 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 자긴가공에 의해 소성변형된 표면층을 분석하였다. 측정한 잔류응력과 계산된 결과를 비교하여 약간의 차이는 있으나 비교적 서로 잘 일치하고 있다.
