Determination of clad plates residual stresses by x-ray diffraction method

The paper elaborates the influence that clad procedure has on the level and nature of residual stresses in clad plates. There are three clad procedures applied, as follows: hot rolling, submerged arc welding (SAW) with strip electrode in two layers and explosion welding. Theoretical basics on residual stresses measured by x-ray diffraction are reviewed in the paper, with special emphasis put on problems of underclad cracking tendency. In all applied cladding procedures, usage of heat treatment by anealing resulted in the decrease of residual stresses values. However, transformation of commpresed stresses into tensile stresses in some cases was very unfavourable, if referring to the tendency of plating corrosion resistant steel to stress corrosion and to underclad cracking.
