The paper deals with the effect of different shot peening (SP) treatment conditions on the ENAW 7075-T651 aluminium alloy. Suitable residual stress profile increases the applicability and life cycle of mechanical parts, treated by shot peening. The objective of the research was to establish the optimal parameters of the shot peening treatment of the aluminium alloy in different precipitation hardened states with regard to residual stress profiles in dynamic loading. Main deformations and main residual stresses were calculated on the basis of electrical resistance. The resulting residual stress profiles reveal that stresses throughout the thin surface layer of all shot peened specimens are of compressive nature. The differences can be observed in the depth of shot peening and the profile of compressive residual stresses. Under all treatment conditions, the obtained maximum value of compressive residual stress ranges between -200 MPa and -300 MPa at a depth between 250 μm and 300 μm. Comparison of different temperature-hardened aluminium alloys shows that changes in the Almen intensity values have greater effect than coverage in the depth and profile of compressive residual stresses. Positive stress ratio of R=0.1 was selected. Wöhler curves were determined in the areas of maximum bending loads between 30 - 65 % of material's tensile strength, measured at thinner cross-sections of individual specimens. The results of material fatigue testing differ from the level of shot peening on the surface layer.

Shot peening is a manufacturing process intended to give components the final shape and to introduce a compressive residual state of stress inside the material in order to increase fatigue life. The modeling and simulation of the residual stress field resulting from the shot peening process are proposed. The behaviour of the peened target material is supposed to be elastic plastic with bilinear characteristics. The results demonstrated the surface layer affected by compressive residual stresses is very thin and the peak is located on the surface.

Using a three-dimensional crystal plasticity model for cyclic deformation of lath martensitic steel, a simplified scheme is adopted to simulate the effects of shot peening on inducing initial compressive residual stresses. The model is utilized to investigate the subsequent cyclic relaxation of compressive residual stresses in shot peened lath martensitic gear steel in the high cycle fatigue (HCF) regime. A strategy is identified to model both shot peening and cyclic loading processes for polycrystalline ensembles. The relaxation of residual stress field during cyclic bending is analyzed for strain ratios Rε=0 and −1 for multiple realizations of polycrystalline microstructure. Cyclic microplasticity in favorably oriented martensite grains is the primary driver for the relaxation of residual stresses in HCF. For the case of Rε=−1, the cyclic plasticity occurs throughout the microstructure (macroplasticity) during the first loading cycle, resulting in substantial relaxation of compressive residual stresses at the surface and certain subsurface depths. The initial magnitude of residual stress is observed to influence the degree (percentage) of relaxation. Describing the differential intergranular yielding is necessary to capture the experimentally observed residual stress relaxation trends.

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and corrosion fatigue (CF) of 12% Cr stainless steel components can lead to reduced availability of steam turbines (ST). Significant operation and maintenance (O&M) costs are required to protect against CF and SCC in both aging and new higher efficiency ST systems. Shot peening has been used to reduce the overall operating tensile stresses, however corrosion pits, foreign object damage (FOD), and erosion can penetrate below the relatively shallow residual compression providing initiation sites for SCC and CF. A means of reliably introducing a deep layer of compressive residual stresses in critical ST components will greatly reduce O&M costs by improving CF life, increasing damage tolerance, reducing SCC susceptibility, and extending the service life of components. Low plasticity burnishing (LPB) is an advanced surface enhancement process providing a means of introducing compressive residual stresses into metallic components for enhanced fatigue, damage tolerance, and SCC performance. LPB processing can be applied as a repair process during scheduled overhauls or on new production components. High cycle fatigue tests were conducted on Type 410 stainless steel, a common alloy used in critical ST components, to compare the corrosion fatigue benefits of LPB to shot peening. Samples were tested in an active corrosion medium of 3.5% NaCl solution. Mechanical or accelerated corrosion damage was placed in test samples to simulate foreign object damage, pitting damage and water droplet erosion prior to testing. High cycle fatigue and residual stress results are shown. Compression from LPB was much deeper than the damage providing a nominal 100X improvement in fatigue life compared to the shallow compression from SP. Life extension from LPB offers significant O&M cost savings, improved reliability, and reduced outages for ST power generators.

Highly loaded aircraft components have to fulfill strict fatigue and damage tolerance requirements. For some components besides the crack initiation mainly the fatigue crack propagation behavior is the main design criteria. To improve the crack propagation behavior of a component several methods are known or have been described in literature. For thin aircraft panels i.e. the application of crenellations [1] or bonded doublers [2, 3] can be a solution. For thick structures mainly the introduction of compressive residual stresses is beneficial. In this paper the potential of compressive residual stresses obtained by Laser Shock Peening (LSP) and Shot Peening (SP) is investigated. By means of Laser Shock Peening the residual compressive stress field can extend much deeper below the treated surface than that produced by conventional Shot Peening (i.e. with steel or ceramic balls) [4, 5]. The effect of such deep compressive stress profile results in a significantly higher benefit in fatigue behavior after Laser Shock Peening or after the combination of Laser Shock Peening and Shot Peening on top. The measurement of residual stresses as a depth profile has been performed by incremental hole drilling (ICHD) and contour method. Finally crack propagation tests have been carried out to validate the process technology approach.

Abstract Numerical modeling approaches have been developed for simulating shot peening processes and consideration of compressive residual stresses when performing strength calculations of turbine wheel joints. A three-stage method is presented to combine strength analyses of turbine blade with the output of LS-DYNA simulations (RS diagrams) of multiple impacts. Predictions of RS distributions obtained using the suggested approach are compared with experimental data and good correlation was achieved. The effect of the RS diagrams obtained using various SP parameters on the stress-strain state of the turbine blade root and the values of its cyclic durability are estimated.

Shot peening is a cold working process, which is used to enhance the properties of materials, especially the fatigue life as it induces large compressive residual stresses in the subsurface of materials. In this paper, the effect of the shot peening process on the topography of the shot peened surface and the distribution of the residual stresses in the subsurface of the material was systematically investigated. A technique to estimate the shot peening coverage was employed using a finite element model which was further developed using experimental results for increased accuracy. The comparison between the numerical and experimental studies gives a good agreement of the distribution of the residual stresses in the subsurface of the shot peened material. The shot peening pressure and media size are two main factors affecting on the presence of compressive residual stresses in the subsurface of the material.

AbstractDisc springs are machine elements that are used when high forces need to be supplied and in limited installation space. They need to fulfil high demands on the stability of the spring characteristics, reliability and lifetime. In corrosive environments, metastable austenitic stainless steels (MASS) disc springs are often used. Tensile stresses that occur during service limit the lifetime of disc springs. Usually, their durability is enhanced by generating favorable compressive residual stresses using shot peening operations. Such operations lead to extra efforts and additional production costs. In this study, the adaptive and targeted generation of residual stresses via incremental sheet forming (ISF) is investigated as alternative to shot peening focusing on EN 1.4310 and EN 1.4401 stainless steel. Previous work has shown that ISF is capable of controlling the radial and tangential stresses in the springs. However, no analysis of the influence of the residual stress state in the rolled sheet strips and the ISF process parameters was performed. The goal of the current work is to analyze the evolution of residual stress during rolling and subsequent incremental forming of disc springs. In order to examine the role of dissipation and temperature increases in the rolling process, sheet blanks rolled at room and elevated temperature are analyzed. The characteristics of the compressive residual stresses induced by ISF are studied for different process parameters. X‑ray diffraction is used to investigate the buildup of these stresses. Using ISF, the generation of compressive residual stresses can be integrated into the forming process of disc springs, and further post-treatment may be skipped. The results show that the residual stress state in the rolled material is crucial, which requires tight control of the rolling temperature. Another result is that ISF is able to yield high compressive residual stresses and improved spring characteristics when small tool diameters and step-down values are used.

Carbonitriding followed by shot peening is an important industrial process to improve the mechanical properties of components, especially by producing compressive residual stresses. In addition, a high hardness and strength produced by this process enhances the surface properties and leads also a high resistance to fatigue. In this study, shot peening with different parameters have been employed to treat the carbonitrided specimens. The measurements of residual stress and residual austenite were performed by X-ray diffraction. It is shown, with a simple eigenstrain model, that residual austenite transformation under shot impact contributes to a significant fraction of residual stresses. When the material (750 HV) is peened with 800 HV shot, it represents about 50%, the remaining is due to plasticity. When it is peened with 640HV shot, 100% of residual stresses can be explained by austenite transformation.
