Laser Shock Peening (LSP) is a material enhancement process used to introduce compressive residual stresses in metallic components. This investigation explored the effects of different combinations of LSP parameters, such as irradiance (GW/cm2) and laser pulse density (spots/mm2), on 3.2 mm thick AA6056-T4 samples, for integral airframe applications. The most significant effects that are introduced by LSP without a protective coating include residual stress and surface roughness, since each laser pulse vaporizes the surface layer of the target. Each of these effects was quantified, whereby residual stress analysis was performed using X-ray diffraction with synchrotron radiation. A series of fully reversed bending fatigue tests was conducted, in order to evaluate fatigue performance enhancements with the aim of identifying LSP parameter influence. Improvement in fatigue life was demonstrated, and failure of samples at the boundary of the LSP treatment was attributed to a balancing tensile residual stress.

Laser shock peening (LSP) is widely known as a cold-worked surface treatment, and this technology has been to greatly improve the fatigue life of many metallic components. Our works focused on laser shock peening with Nd: glass laser system (pulse duration 30ns) and square laser spot size of 4mm×4mm for TC17 titanium alloy. Surface morphology, residual stresses and fatigue performance had been studied for TC17 alloy specimens and blades processed by LSP treatment. The results show that plastic strains in shocked dents become more homogeneous than ones produced by original circle spot with gaussian energy distribution. Surface residual stresses which measured using x-ray diffraction method showed different characteristic as varying specimen thickness, and LSP with overlapping ratio of 8% provided uniform residual stresses on peened surface. Low fluence peening which was implemented at borderline of peened surface was effective to diminish the stress gradient. Compared with mechanical shot peening, LSP attained smoother surface, lower microhardness and better fatigue performance. In a word, Square-spot LSP is an excellent way to improve fatigue life of titanium blade.
