Extract

Sleeve coldworking (SCW) is a mechanical process used in the aircraft industry to strengthen fastener holes of structural parts. By cold-expanding the holes, compressive residual stresses and a high dislocation density are introduced around the holes, the effect of which is to counteract the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks and thus increase the fatigue life of the parts. The knowledge of residual stress due to SCW is therefore crucial for assessing the fatigue properties of a treated part. In this study, residual stresses were investigated, by employing neutron and X-ray diffraction methods, in a lug specimen that was sleeve coldworked and fatigued.

The specimen had been used for testing the influence of the SCW process on fatigue life and crack propagation behaviour under constant amplitude or variable amplitude cyclic loading.
