Abstract

This paper presents experiments to determine the residual stresses generated during the low-speed quenching of austenitic stainless steel. Austenitic stainless steel was chosen because it does not undergo any phase transformation during quenching. As a result, the resultant residual-stress pattern depends only on plastic deformation taking place during the quench. Different quenching rates were used in the experiment to quantify their effect on the generation of residual stresses. These stresses were measured along the surface of the specimen in a direction parallel to the quench direction and in depth below the surface.
