Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of residual stress detection technology, specifically relating to a method for calculating residual stress based on nanoindentation technology. Background Technology
[0002] Residual stress, as spontaneously generated internal stress during material processing, profoundly affects the mechanical properties of products. In high-end manufacturing fields such as aerospace, microelectronics packaging, and nuclear energy equipment, the distribution of residual stress directly determines the fatigue strength, corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability of materials. Therefore, accurate measurement of residual stress has become a key aspect of modern materials design.
[0003] Traditional residual stress detection methods face technical bottlenecks: X-ray diffraction, while non-destructive, is limited by crystal structure requirements and insufficient penetration depth; drilling is a destructive operation and difficult to apply to micro-components; synchrotron radiation neutron diffraction, while capable of deep stress analysis, has high equipment costs and long testing cycles.
[0004] Nanoindentation technology, with its unique micromechanical detection characteristics, has opened up a new dimension for residual stress measurement. This technique records the load-displacement curves of a nanoscale indenter penetrating a material, simultaneously acquiring mechanical parameters such as hardness and elastic modulus. Existing research reveals that residual stress significantly affects the load-displacement curve; based on this, various models for measuring residual stress using nanoindentation have been proposed. To address the low measurement accuracy and limited applicability of traditional models, proposing a more accurate and widely applicable model is of significant importance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and to modify the existing nanoindentation residual stress measurement model to obtain a more accurate nanoindentation residual stress calculation model.
[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a method for calculating residual stress based on nanoindentation technology, which combines the traditional nanoindentation model for measuring residual stress with finite element simulation to obtain a more accurate residual stress calculation model, including the following steps:
[0007] S1. Establish a residual stress calculation model:
[0008]
[0009] Equation (1) is calculated using load-depth curves with and without residual stress; Equations (2) and (3) distinguish between residual stress in compression and tension states and are calculated using the integration method.
[0010] In equation (1), U is the work done by the residual stress on the indenter during the nanoindentation unloading process, P0 and P1 are the loads on the indenter at the maximum depth with and without residual stress, respectively, and h0 is the maximum depth of the indenter penetrating the material. f0 and h f1 The final depth of the indentation is given by m0 and m1 by power-law exponents.
[0011] In equations (2) and (3), equation (2) represents the compressive stress state, and equation (3) represents the tensile stress state; ΔS=2πrdh, r=htanα, α=70.3°, σ r This is residual stress;
[0012] S2. Set the physical parameters of each engineering material respectively, and on this basis, set several different sets of residual stresses. Then, use finite element simulation software to obtain the corresponding nanoindentation Ph curve.
[0013] S3. Using finite element simulation, determine the load-depth curves of various engineering materials under different residual stress conditions; the finite element simulation includes simulation without residual stress, tensile stress, and compressive stress simulation, and the stress-strain setting of the material during the simulation follows a power-law strengthening, defined as:
[0014]
[0015] In equation (3), E is the elastic modulus, σ y Where n is the yield strength and n is the strain hardening exponent;
[0016] S4. Using the load-depth curve determined in step S3 and the residual stress calculation model established in step S1, the magnitude of the residual stress is calculated in reverse.
[0017] S5. Compare the set residual stress with the calculated residual stress to obtain the model correction value corresponding to each engineering material. In this step S5, the calculation results of various traditional models are compared, and the overall accuracy of the corrected model is higher.
[0018] S6. Fit the correction values for different materials to obtain the correction value formula, and then obtain the residual stress calculation model applicable to various engineering materials. The correction value formula is:
[0019]
[0020] In equation (5), a, b, c, d, and f are all parameters.
[0021] Furthermore, in step S2, the physical parameters of the engineering material include: elastic modulus E, yield strength σ. y And the strain hardening index n.
[0022] Further, in step S6, when the material is under compressive stress, in equation (5), a = 0.09243, b = -0.7555, c = 0.00365, d = 1.121, f = -1.67393e-6; when the material is under tensile stress, in equation (5), a = 0.51771, b = 0.872, c = 0.00359, d = -3.82, f = 2.15953e-6. Therefore, it can be seen that for the same material, the correction values for tensile residual stress and compressive residual stress need to be distinguished, and the correction value formula is the correction value multiplied by E / σ. y The function of n.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0024] This invention proposes a novel model for measuring residual stress using nanoindentation, which offers higher overall calculation accuracy compared to traditional models. Furthermore, addressing the limitation of traditional models being applicable only to specific materials, a model modification method is proposed, making the new model applicable to a wide range of materials. Using the model proposed in this invention to calculate residual stress offers advantages such as high reliability and broad applicability. Attached Figure Description
