Investigation of the effect of surface residual stress on the endurance limit of 6Al 4V titanium alloy shows that this effect is equal within experimental error to the residual stress divided by a constant. Results can be expressed by a simple equation. A value for the constant has been derived.

Axial force-controlled fatigue tests are conducted at various stress ratios (R) on Ti-6Al-4V specimens prepared by two different manufacturing techniques (hard turning plus polishing with and without vacuum stress relieve anneal carried out after polishing). Residual stress is measured by using X-ray diffraction. Results indicate that the surface compressive residual stress lead to an increase of fatigue limit at a given life and stress ratio. This effect decreases with increasing stress ratio R. At R = 0.6, the effect of surface residual stress on fatigue limit fades away. In addition, the location of crack initiation shifts from surface to interior when the stress ratio changes from −1 to 0.6.

With the development of Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and Nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS), dimension of their parts is required to nanometer scale, and the characteristics of machined-surface of nano-scale parts affect strongly its application. Surface relaxation plays an important role to the characteristics of the machined-surface. In this paper, machined-surface of monocrystal copper used as the specimen of surface relaxation, and its surface relaxation process is simulated. The influences of surface relaxation on surface energy, atom array, surface roughness, surfaces hardness and surface residual stress of the monocrystal copper are analyzed. Results show that surface energy and surface hardness decrease due to relaxation; work-hardening can’t be completely eliminated by the relaxation; compression residual stress of the machined surface is changed gradually to tensile stress during the relaxation. These research results are very helpful to the application of nano-machined parts.

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.
