Abstract
Residual stresses are one of the main factors determining the failure of aircraft engine materials. It is not possible to reliably and accurately predict the remaining service life of aircraft engine components without properly accounting for the presence of residual stresses. The absolute level and spatial distribution of the residual stress is uncertain in aircraft engines because the residual stress profile is highly susceptible to variations in the manufacturing process. In addition, residual stresses keep evolving under complex thermal-mechanical loadings. Non-destructive techniques are desired by the aerospace industries for the regular monitoring of subsurface residual stress profile in aircraft engine components. The insufficient penetrating capability of the only currently available non-destructive residual stress assessment technique X-ray diffraction has prompted an active search for alternative non-destructive techniques. This paper provides an overview of the principle, practical applications, advantages, and limitations of four categories of nondestructive (diffraction, ultrasonic, and electromagnetic) techniques for residual stress profiling of metallic components in aircraft engines.
