Abstract
The development of residual stresses during fabrication is inevitable and often neglected
with dire consequences during the service life of the fabricated components. In this work, the surface
residual stress profile following the martensitic stainless steel (MSS) pipe welding was investigated
with X-ray diffraction technique. The results revealed the presence of residual stresses
equilibrated across the weldment zones. Tensile residual stress observed in weld metal was balanced
by compressive residual stresses in the parent material on the opposing sides of weld metal.
