ABSTRACT:
A metallic object is treated to produce tensile residual stress in a known localized area of the metallic object. A metallic object having at least one portion substantially free of tensile residual stress is provided, and a localized area adjacent to or a part of the tensile stress-free area is selected. The localized area is subjected to heating on one surface and cooling on the opposite surface. Upon cooling to ambient temperature, the known localized area has tensile residual stress. The localized area can have cracks formed therein by crack-promotion techniques, such as submersion in boiling magnesium chloride. The area can be tested by attaching electrodes and subjecting the area to a reversing direct current crack growth measurement procedure.
