Legacy Post: Residual Stress in Additive Manufacturing (Feb 2018)
In previous blog posts we have discussed various issues related to residual stress in welding. Here, we’ll follow up with a more detailed look at residual stress in additive manufactured parts, which is a form of welding. Additive manufacturing processes, including powder and wire-fed E-beam and laser, produce residual stress as an undesired consequence. Residual…

Legacy Post: Residual stress in linear friction welds (Dec 2016)
In a previous blog post we discussed, in general, issues related to residual stress in welding. In this post, we’ll follow up with a more detailed look at a specific welding application – linear friction welding of titanium alloys. Titanium alloys are widely used in aerospace applications for their high strength to weight ratio, good…

Legacy Post: Residual stress in welding (Sep 2016)
Welding is a very common manufacturing process that is used to join materials together to form assemblies and systems. In many cases the welded joints are large, have reduced material properties (e.g., stress corrosion cracking resistance, fracture toughness), and contain defects. The welded joints tend to be critical locations in terms of design and sustainment.…
