Q2. What was the method for removing the points that were not part of the surface?
Since data were collected beyond the coupon edges, the data set had to be filtered to remove points that were not actually part of the surface.
Q3. What method was used to measure the residual stress in the blocks?
The residual stress in the blocks was measured using the slitting method ~also known as the crack-compliance method!, which was first published by Vaidyanathan and Finnie in 1971 @23# and recently reviewed by Prime @24#.
Q4. What is the important benefit of laser peening?
laser peening could open the door to using other materials instead of Alloy 22 for the storage canisters since there is the possibility that a less expensive stainless steel that has been laser peened will have similar stress corrosion-resistance properties to unpeened Alloy 22 material.
Q5. What is the method for measuring residual stress in a specimen?
The contour method has recently emerged as a tool for mapping residual stresses in specimens with two-dimensional nonuniform residual stress variations.
Q6. What is the effect of laser peening on the surface of the cylinder?
Initial results suggest that the depth of compressive stress relative to the original surface will increase as material is removed from the outer surface of the cylinder because the depth of laser-peening-induced plasticity is greater than the original depth of compressive residual stress.
Q7. What is the significant aspect of the results presented here?
The most significant aspect of the results presented here is the deep level of residual stress that is induced in Alloy 22 by laser peening.
Q8. What is the depth of residual stress in a thick welded block?
The depth of compressive residual stress is a function of both the depth of plastic deformation induced by laser peening and the geometric constraint of the peened geometry.
Q9. What is the potential for a reduction in the thickness of the Alloy 22 layer?
Another benefit of laser peening for this application is the potential to reduce the thickness of the Alloy 22 layer while maintaining the same level of safety.
Q10. What is the way to measure the stress in a slit?
One assumption of the slitting method that sometimes limits its applicability is that the stress is uniform along the length of the slit.
Q11. What is the method for judging the residual stress in the blocks?
In order to select the best set of laser-peening parameters for Alloy 22, an objective system of judging the residual stress profiles is required.
Q12. How much time would laser peening take to do the weld joint?
would lead to a 72% decrease in total peening time for the weld joint studied, compared to the parameters that were actually used (10 GW/cm2, 25 ns, and 10 layers!.
Q13. What is the problem with the stress-free lattice spacing?
In addition, there are troublesome issues with determining the stress-free lattice spacing inside the weld region due to microstructural variation from the welding process @29#.
