Manufacturing process can induce residual stresses that can lead to fatigue cracking and stress corrosion cracking. These conditions can 

premature failures in components.

Measurement of residual stresses in automotive components is an essential tool for process consistency and failure analysis. 

Residual stress measurements are 

critical in determining life of aerospace 

structures and components. 

Powder Bed Fusion 3D Printers can produce repeatable and almost identical parts, 

but the process be building parts with 

inconsistent residual stresses.  

The dramatic effect that residual stresses 

have on pipelines can help propagate:

• Hydrogen Induced Cracking
• Fatigue Cracking
• and Stress Corrosion Cracking

Monitors proper and beneficial shotpeening 

for 100% inspection while identifying 

under peening and overpeening. Improper peening can decrease the service life of a component.
