Residual stress values in a material are governed by the measurements of the atomic spacings in a specific crystallographic plane and the elastic constant for that plane. It has been reported that the value of the elastic constant depends on microstructure, preferred orientation, plastic deformation and morphology [1], Thus, the theoretical calculation of the elastic constant may deviate from the intrinsic value for a real alloy.
