Peculiarities of Formation of Residual Stresses in Welded Joints and Stellite Weld Cladding on Rail Steel

Using X-ray diffraction methods, the distributions of residual stresses over the cross section of a welded joint of the rail and in cladding of wear-resistant stellite have been analyzed. The stresses in the welded joint have been determined by the sin2ψ method, and the stresses in stellite cladding have been determined by an original method based on the analysis of the anisotropy of elastic characteristics of the material, which allows one to...
