Controlling residual stresses is vital for modern metal manufacturing. This review highlights research trends in welding, additive manufacturing, and machining, focusing on simulation and experimental validation for improved material performance.
Area of Science:
- Materials Science and Engineering
- Manufacturing Engineering
- Computational Mechanics
Background:
- Modern manufacturing demands precise control of residual stresses for structural integrity and performance.
- Residual stresses significantly impact mechanical behavior and service life in metal components.
- Key manufacturing processes like welding, additive manufacturing, and machining induce complex stress gradients.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric review of residual stress research in metal manufacturing from 2019-2024.
- To identify emerging trends, thematic clusters, and global research collaborations.
- To provide a comprehensive overview and strategic directions for future research.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of publications from Scopus and Web of Science databases.
- Analysis of research output evolution, collaboration networks, and process-specific contributions.
- Identification of key thematic clusters and emerging trends in simulation and experimental validation.
Main Results:
- Significant research focus on welding, additive manufacturing, and machining processes.
- Emerging trends include simulation-based prediction (e.g., finite element method), heat treatment optimization, and defect prevention.
- Key clusters involve process-induced microstructural changes, mechanical property enhancement, and integrated modeling-experimental approaches.
Conclusions:
