Popis: Using instrumented indentation testing, we explore the measurement of surface residual stress in H-section steel beams produced through the quenching and self-tempering (QST) process. We establish a significant correlation between the plastic pile-up behavior observed during indentation and the magnitude of surface residual stress. We thoroughly clarify the distribution of plastic pile-up and residual stress, linking their variations to non-uniform phase transformation and changes in mechanical properties resulting from the QST process. Moreover, we employ an indentation curve analysis to evaluate surface residual stress, obviating the need for direct measurements of pile-up height. These findings facilitate the measurement of non-uniform surface residual stress in H-section beams, crucial for ensuring structural integrity, yet challenging to measure in situ.
