Thermal relaxation of compressive residual stresses in surface gradient nanostructure of TC11 titanium alloy Universiteit Gent
The thermal relaxation behaviour of compressive residual stress (CRS) in the gradient nanostructure of TC11 titanium alloy treated with ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) was investigated by X-ray residual stress test, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and high-resolution TEM (HRTEM). The Zener-Wert-Avrami (ZWA) model was successfully used to simulate the CRS relaxation behaviour in nanocrystalline and non-nanocrystalline regions at ...
