Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A metal material other than strain-free iron powder can be used as a reference piece for X-ray measurement of residual stress. The metal material is manufactured by nanocrystallizing at least a portion of a surface of a metal material, and then removing inherent strain by annealing the metal material, thereby eliminating stress.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A manufacturing method for a reference piece for X-ray measurement of residual stress, comprising, after at least a portion of a surface of SCM (steel chromium molybdenum steel materials), SUP (spring steel steel materials), SPCC (normal steel), SPHC (general hot rolled steel materials), or S 10 C (carbon steel for machine structures) has been nanocrystallized by shot peening, stress is reduced while maintaining a micro state of nanocrystallized crystal grains by annealing the same and an orientation of metal crystal planes facing in the same direction generated by the manufacturing method is scattered by recrystallizing/micronizing the same by shot peening, wherein the residual stress in the reference piece for X-ray measurement of residual stress is −55 MPa or greater and 55 MPa or less, and wherein the shot peening is implemented with an air acceleration device with a projection air pressure in a range of 0.05-1.0 MPa. 2 . The manufacturing method for a reference piece for X-ray measurement of residual stress according to claim 1 , wherein a certain number of crystal grains for obtaining reliability in the X-ray measurement of residual stress are present within a range of the X-ray measurement of residual stress by shot peening. 3 . The manufacturing method for a reference piece for X-ray measurement of residual stress according to claim 1 , wherein nanocrystals are present on the metal material surface in a range of 0-50 μm. 4 . The manufacturing method for a reference piece for X-ray measurement of residual stress according to claim 1 , wherein the shot peening is implemented with a projected material having a Vickers hardness (JIS Z 2244) in a range of HV 1200-3000, and a grain size number (JIS R 6001) in a range of 20-220. 5 . The manufacturing method for a reference piece for X-ray measurement of residual stress according to claim 1 , wherein the shot peening is implemented with a projected material having a Vickers hardness (JIS Z 2244) in a range of HV 1700-3000, and a grain size number (JIS R 6001) in a range of 30-100. 6 . The manufacturing method for a reference piece for X-ray measurement of residual stress according to claim 1 , wherein the projection air pressure is in a range of 0.1-0.5 MPa. 7 . The manufacturing method for a reference piece for X-ray measurement of residual stress according to claim 1 , a number of times annealing is performed is from 3 to 5. 8 . The manufacturing method for a reference piece for X-ray measurement of residual stress according to claim 1 , wherein annealing is performed by using a bright annealing furnace. 9 . The manufacturing method for a reference piece for X-ray measurement of residual stress according to claim 1 , wherein annealing is performed to heat to 180-500° C. 10 . The manufacturing method for a reference piece for X-ray measurement of residual stress according to claim 1 , wherein annealing is performed to heat to 180-300° C.
