12、utron diffraction methods. His-torically, these methods have been used tomeasureonlyresidualstresses.

This beam is

17、 directed at a sample and theintensity of the scattered neutrons is measured us-ing detectors. Variations of the intensity at differentangular positions around the sample provide infor-mation about the crystal structure of the sample.There are two primary types of neutron sources:1) nuclear reactors

18、 and 2) spallation sources. Theresearchpresentedinthisreportwasconductedus-ing the Neutron Residual Stress Facility (NRSF2)instrument that receives neutrons from the HighFluxIsotopeReactor(HIFR).

TheSLAD contains two major sub-assemblies: 1) aloading fixture (Figures 2a and 2b) and 2) a pumpsub-ass

25、embly(Figure3). Thetwosub-assembliesare connected by a ten foot long hydraulic hose. Astatic torque is applied to the test gear using ahydraulic cylinder. This torque is transferred fromthetestgeartoamatinggear thatis preventedfromrotatingbyasingletoothrack. Theorientationofthetest gear in the SLAD

26、was designed such that theprincipal direction of the bending stress at the criti-cal cross section was horizontal. This enabled thealignment of SLAD with the incident and diffractedbeams that also lie in the horizontal plane. Thegearsarealsopositionedsuchthatthecontactpointis at the worst load radiu

The 140 ksi maximum stress level waschosenbecause thecompressive residualstressesofthismagnitude,whichweremeasuredonthesur-face of the gears using x-ray diffraction 1, wouldbe approximately balanced out and the resultingstress would be near zero.Experimental setupThe experiment was designed

30、 to measure d-spacing in three orthogonal directions using theSLAD and NRSF2 instrument. The measurementofd-spacinginthreeorthogonal directionsrequiredmounting the SLAD on the NRSF2 instrument inthree orientations. The first orientation waschosento measure the d-spacing for the longitudinal strainco

31、mponent at the location of the critical bendingstress in the fillet area. A 3 0.3 3 mm slitarrangement was used. The second orientationwas achieved by rotating the -axis of the NRSF2instrument by 90 degrees. This orientation wasused to measure the d-spacing forthe lateralstraincomponent at the criti

32、cal bending stress location.Thesame slitarrangement wasused. The thirdori-entation was orthogonal to the first two orientationsand was achieved by physically rotating the SLADby 90 degrees. This orientation was used to mea-surethed-spacingforthenormalstraincomponentat the bending stress location. A

33、“hanging slit” con-figuration was required with the lateral and normaldirections to avoid interference issues between theNRSF2 instrument and the SLAD.The d-spacing measurements were taken at ninedepths (0.08, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50,1.75, and 2.00 mm) in each orientation and at sixhydrau

34、lic cylinder pressures of approximately 100,360, 620, 880, 1140, and 1400 psi. The actualpressures used in each orientation were slightlydifferent due to the inability to achieve a precisepressure using the manually operated pump.Experimental dataMeasured d-spacing for the longitudinal, lateral,and

35、normal directions at various pressures anddepths are summarized in Tables 2, 3, and 4. All ofthe measurements were taken near the center ofthe tooth (8.5 mm in from the side of the gear).Figures 4, 5, and 6 show all of the d-spacing for aparticular direction versus depth on a single graph.SLAD data

Atthelowestloadlevel(116psi cylinderpressure) thepresence ofthecompressive residual stress state is evident. Thed-spacing is smallest near the surface where thecompressive

37、residual stress is highest. The d-spacing increases as the measurement depth in-side the carburized layer increases. This corre-sponds to a decreasing compressive stress statewith increasing distance from the surface. As thetooth load is increased the d-spacing increaseswhich is expected from the co

47、resThe SLAD device was designed to create a totalstressofzero atthe criticalstress locationon thefil-let at a pressure of 1,400 psi. The data shown inFigure 4 suggests that this was accomplished. At116 psi the compressive d-spacing gradient isclearly seen. In contrast, at a hydraulic cylinderpressur

48、e of 1,387 psi the d-spacing gradient isnearly zero. The cancelling of the d-spacinggradient as the cylinder pressure is increased isconsistent with the compressive residual stress onthe surface of 140 ksi as measured using X-raydiffraction. It also shows that the AGMA toothbending equation given by
