Abstract We report a novel laser-based surface processing process, laser shock surface patterning (LSSP) integrating both surface strengthening and patterning effects might lead to broader impacts in tribology research and applications. This process utilizes the laser-induced shockwave loadings to introduce the surface strengthening and patterning effects simultaneously, leading to the fabrication of arrays of micro-indentations or protrusions for the enhanced wear resistance and manipulated friction values. Two process designs, direct-LSSP and indirect-LSSP were proposed and carried out on AZ31B Mg alloys and AISI 1045 steels, respectively. The 3D surface profiles of the samples after LSSP were characterized. The hardness of surface patterns prepared by laser processing was measured. The friction values as affected by laser processing parameters were measured by sliding tests. The relationships among laser processing parameters, micro-feature characteristics, and COF were discussed.

Laser shock processing is a technique similar to shot peening that imparts compressive residual stresses in materials for improved fatigue resistance. Finite element analysis techniques have been applied to predict the residual stresses from Laser shock processing. The purpose of this paper is to investigate of the different sheet thickness interactions on the stress distribution during the laser shock processing of 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy by using the finite element software. The results indicate that the sheet thickness has little effects on the compression stress in the depth of sheet, but great impacts on the reserve side.

Abstract In this research work, LM6 Aluminum alloy based metal matrix composites reinforced with varying amounts (0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 wt%) of boron nitride (BN) having 10 to 30 nanometers average size were developed by using powder metallurgy and squeeze casting routes. The mechanical and tribological properties are analyzed for the samples developed through the two different routes and the influence of the process on the properties is discussed. Thus developed nano composite is studied for the effect of weight percentage addition of nano H-BN particle on the bulk and surface properties. Mechanical testing and advanced characterization methods are used to study the effect of the nano H-BN addition to the matrix material and to evaluate the composite for its suitability as a potential friction material used in strategic sectors. It has been inferred that the presence of nano H-BN have improved the bulk and surface properties. Further, it has been established that the powder metallurgy route has some favorable results when compared to squeeze casting in terms of certain properties. Thus fabricated composites were subjected to laser shock peening process to study its impact on the surface and wear characteristics. The 0.6 wt% H-BN reinforced composites fabricated separately by Powder metallurgy and Squeeze casting method are exposed to laser shock peening process and it was inferred that there is a significant improvement on the surface and wear properties when compared to normal specimen.
