Laser shock peening (LSP) is an innovative process which imparts compressive residual stresses in the processed surface of metallic parts to significantly improve fatigue life and fatigue strength of this part. In opposing dual sided LSP, the workpiece can be simultaneously irradiated or irradiated with different time lags to create different surface residual stress patterns by virtue of the interaction between the opposing shock waves. In this work, a finite element model, in which the hydrodynamic behavior of the material and the deviatoric behavior including work hardening and strain rate effects were considered was applied to predict residual stress distributions in the processed surface induced under various conditions of the opposing dual sided micro scale laser shock peening. Thus the shock waves from each surface will interact in different ways through the thickness resulting in more complex residual stress profiles. Additionally, when treating a thin section, opposing dual sided peening is expected to avoid harmful effects such as spalling and fracture because the pressures on the opposite surfaces of the target balance one another and prohibit excessive deformation of the target. In order to better understand the wave-wave interactions under different conditions, the residual stress profiles corresponding to various workpiece thicknesses and various irradiation times were evaluated.

Laser shock peening is a very effective mechanical surface treatment to enhance the fatigue behaviour of highly stressed components. In this work the effect of different laser shock peening conditions on the residual stress depth profile and fatigue behaviour without any sacrificial coating layer is investigated for two high strength titanium alloys, Ti-6Al-4V and Timetal LCB. The results show that the optimization of peening conditions is crucial to obtain excellent fatigue properties. Especially, power density, spot size and coverage severely influence the residual stress profile of laser shock peened Ti-6Al-4V and Timetal LCB specimens. For both alloys, subsurface as well as surface compressive residual stress peaks can be obtained by varying the peening conditions. In general, Timetal LCB exhibits steeper stress gradients than Ti-6Al-4V for identical peening conditions. The main parameters affecting the fatigue life are near-surface cold work and compressive residual stresses.

The confined laser shock peening (LSP) is an innovative surface treatment technique designed to improve the fatigue performance of materials by imparting compressive residual stresses into materials. A 3D finite element model was developed to predict the surface residual stress and plastically affected depth of the TC11 titanium alloy after LSP. The modeling procedure consists of two successive explicit analysis steps. The performance of finite element model was verified by comparing simulated results with the experimental data. With the validated finite element model, the influence of the process parameters (LSP path, thickness of the sample, number of impacts) was investigated on the surface residual stress and plastically affected depth of the TC11 titanium alloy after LSP. Some simulated results can be used to mentor the optimization of the process parameters of LSP.

Abstract Residual stress (RS) is a major processing issue for selective laser melting (SLM) of metal alloys. Postprocessing by way of heat treatment or hot isostatic pressing is usually required for acceptable mechanical properties. In this work, laser shock peening (LSP) treatment on both SLM and cast aluminum A357 alloys are compared with regard to the development of beneficial near-surface compressive RS. Experiments are conducted using high energy nanosecond pulsed laser, together with a fast photodetector connected to a high-resolution oscilloscope and high-speed camera to identify detailed temporal and spatial laser pulse profiles to improve numerical predictions. Constitutive modeling for SLM A357 alloy is performed using finite element simulation and data obtained from X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. Since XRD-RS measurements are accompanied with significant machine-reported error, an effective method is introduced to quantify the material constitutive model uncertainty in terms of a joint probability mass function. Conventionally, most constitutive behavior research for LSP involves deterministic material modeling. Predicted RS using deterministic approaches fail to reflect real-world variations in the materials, laser treatment, or RS measurements. A discretized Bayesian inference is used to quantify the rate-dependent plasticity material model parameters as a joint probability function. RS are then characterized as random fields, which provides far greater insight into the practical ability to attain desired residual stresses. Moreover, for identical LSP treatments, it is determined that the material models are significantly different for the SLM and the conventional cast A357 aluminum alloys, resulting in much lower magnitude of compressive RS in the SLM alloy.
