X-ray penetration in magnesium alloys is significant due to the low X-ray mass attenuation
coefficient. To measure the surface residual stresses in magnesium alloys, a correction …

The purpose of this research was to develop a new energy-based method to measure the
fracture toughness of hard coatings using internal energy induced cracking (IEIC). TiN …

X-ray diffraction combined with electropolishing layer removal is a major technique for
subsurface residual stress measurement. The layer removal steps inevitably change the …

A novel procedure to simulate ultrasonic cavitation peening is introduced. The surface
profile of pits formed by ultrasonic cavitation peening are measured with atomic force …

Layer removal with electropolishing is a well-established method when measuring residual
stress profiles with lab-XRD. This is done to measure the depth impact from processes such …

Polycrystalline diffraction is a robust methodology employed to assess elastic strain within
crystalline components. The Extended Caking (exCaking) method represents a progression …

The goal of this contribution was to describe the microstructure and properties changes of
difficult to cut materials after turning. Surface residual stresses, roughness, microstructure of …

Highly stressed machine parts such as gears and shafts are often surface treated to increase
wear and fatigue resistance at critical locations. For example, induction surface hardening …

LLocalized laser hardening of steel surfaces performed with optimal parameters not only
hardens the surface layer, but is also capable of generating advantageous hook-like shape …

The residual stress profile in a shot-peened Al alloy component was studied by a recently
proposed method based on the known procedure of progressive thinning and X-ray …
