Abstract. This paper presents a review of work carried out to ascertain the residual stresses present within a T- plate section. The contour method, the incremental deep hole drilling (iDHD) and the incremental centre hole drilling (ICHD) are coupled to determined longitudinal and transverse components of residual stress in the weld tope of the fillet weld in the as-welded condition. This paper presents first the measurement using the iDHD method and the measurement obtained using the contour method is then presented. The accuracy and resolution of the contour method results are directly linked to the quality of the electro- discharge machining (EDM) cut made. The challenges incurs by cutting complex geometry like this T- plate section are identified and their influence on residual stresses calculated by the contour method is quantified.
