The mechanical properties of the 316L stainless steel subjected to surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) have been studied, these properties are hardness, tensile properties and wear resistance. The research shows that the thickness of the hardened layer increases with the increasing of the treating time. The refined microstructure in the treated layer led to increasing in hardness, strength, and wear resistance. It is obvious that the surface layer hardness and bulk yield strength are increasing when the SMAT time reaches 5 minutes. The increase of surface layer wear resistance is obvious when the SMAT time is 15 minutes. The SEM observation of the wear scars shows that the nanocrystalline layer might reduce the effect of adhesive wear of 316L stainless steel. Therefore, the wear mechanism changes from adhesive abrasion to grinding particle abrasion after SMAT.

In this work, the effect of surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) on the cyclic behaviour of a 316L stainless steel under low cycle fatigue (LCF) is investigated. The LCF results are presented in the form of cyclic stress amplitude evolution for both untreated and SMATed samples. In order to better understand the microstructure change due to cyclic loading, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is used to characterize the microstructure of the SMATed samples before and after fatigue tests. A microstructure gradient is highlighted for samples after SMAT from the top surface layer in nanocrystalline grains to the interior region non-affected by impacts. Under LCF loading, new slip systems are activated in the work hardened region, whereas no plastic slip is activated in the nanostructured layer. The residual stresses generated by SMAT are measured using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and their relaxations under cyclic loading are studied by taking into account the microstructure change. The cyclic behaviour of the samples in different material states is interpreted based on these investigations.

Carbon nanomaterials were synthesized in situ on bulk 316L stainless steel, pure cobalt, and pure nickel by hybrid surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT). The microstructures of the treated samples and the resulted carbon nanomaterials were investigated by SEM and TEM characterizations. Different substrates resulted in different morphologies of products. The diameter of carbon nanomaterials is related to the size of the nanograins on the surface layer of substrates. The possible growth mechanism was discussed. Effects of the main parameters of the synthesis, including the carbon source and gas reactant composition, hydrogen, and the reaction temperature, were studied. Using hybrid SMAT is proved to be an effective way to synthesize carbon nanomaterials in situ on surfaces of metallic materials.
