Introduction
Analysis of the core content of the standard
The GB/T39520-2020 standard system specifies a method system for detecting spring residual stress using X-ray diffraction technology, which is applicable to stress analysis of iron-based alloy spring products such as coil springs, leaf springs and stabilizer bars.
Technical Principles and Test Methods
| Test Methods | Geometric Layout | Applicable Scenarios | Accuracy Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Co-inclination Method | Stress Direction Plane Coincides with 20° Plane | Conventional Stress Test | ±14MPa |
| Tilt Method (Ω Method) | Stress Direction Plane is Perpendicular to 20° Plane | Complex Geometric Components | ±10MPa |
Note: The test principle is based on Bragg's law. Macroscopic stress is deduced by measuring lattice strain. The diffraction peak displacement reflects the stress magnitude, and the half-width is related to microscopic stress.
Key instrument requirements
- Goniometer: It is necessary to ensure the quadruple alignment of the X-ray tube, detector, spot center and test point.
- X-ray tube: Cr target (ferritic steel) or Mn target (austenitic steel) is preferred.
- Detector: Single point/linear array/area array, resolution ≤0.1°
Key points of operating specifications
Sample preparation
Surface roughness requirements: helical spring Ra≤10μm, leaf spring Ra≤20μm. The electropolishing peeling depth deviation must meet the following requirements:
| Peeling depth (μm) | Allowable deviation (μm) |
|---|---|
| 0-50 | ±5 |
| 50-150 | ±10 |
Test parameters
It is recommended to set the Ψ angle to more than 4, ranging from 0-45°; the 20 scanning range must include the complete diffraction peak (≥4 times the half-height width)
Standard application case
The test of a SAE9254 material helical spring shows: surface residual stress -771MPa, maximum stress -946MPa (depth 0.112mm), and stress influence depth of 0.3mm. The data meets the standard's ±10MPa error requirement when the confidence probability is 0.75.
Implementation recommendations
- Regularly use stress-free iron powder to calibrate the equipment (deviation > 14MPa requires readjustment)
- For complex geometric parts, the tilt method is preferred to reduce projection errors
- When testing austenitic steel, attention should be paid to the problem of overlapping interference of diffraction peaks
