The residual stress that I am talking about is mostly tensile and thermally induced. The stress is observed on the surface only upto a very small depth in the thickness direction. Is this kind of stress significantly damaging from a fatigue perspective?
Also, what would be effect of the residual on the strength?
Is it possible that some sort stress relaxation could occur and the residual gets dissipated?
More details would be needed.
More details would be needed. Type of material, process through which it is made and so on.

Material is cast inconel
Thanks. Please suggest some good books, papers, links on thermally induced residual stress. The region of interest is strain controlled.
