Notes:
High residual tensile stress is an important factor contributing to stress corrosion cracking(SCC). Shot peening can impose compressive stresses on the surface of welded joints that negatethe tensile stresses to enhance the SCC resistance of welded joints. In the present work, thedistribution of residual stress caused by welding is measured by X-ray diffraction method. Themaximum stress in the weld is close to the yield strength of AISI 304 stainless steel, and the stressesare negative at both ends of the weld and far from the weld. The X-ray method is also used tomeasure stress caused by shot-peening. The results show that the higher the peening coverage, thehigher the residual compressive stresses in the surface of weldments. While under the samecondition, the residual compressive stresses induced by glass beads shot-peening are larger thanthose by cast steel shots. Temperature and stress fields of welding are simulated by using ABAQUScodes. The 3-D solid elements are used in FEM. Temperature depending on material properties aswell as the convection and radiation as boundary conditions are considered. The 3-D linearreduced-integration elements are used to simulate the shot peening process. The results ofsimulation have a good agreement with experimental data. All unpeened and peened weldments areimmersed in boiling 42% magnesium chloride solution during SCC test. Unpeened specimens crackafter immersion for 6 hours. The steel-peened specimens with 50% coverage crack after 310 hours,while the steel-peened specimens with 100% coverage crack for 3500 hours. However, steel-peenedspecimens with 200% coverage and glass-peened specimens with 50%, 100% and 200% coverageare tested for a total of 3500 hours without visible stress corrosion cracks in the peened surfaces.The experiment results indicate that shot peening is an effective method for protecting weldmentsagainst SCC and weldments peened by glass beads resist SCC better than those peened by steelshots
