A technique is developed for the correction of the depth distribution of residual stresses measured by an X-ray method with
allowance for their relaxation upon the removal of surface layers. This technique is applied to the study of a D16 aluminum
alloy strip subjected to shot-blasting metal forming. This technique can be used to estimate the distribution of residual
stresses across massive parts after various types of treatment.
