This research paper describes a technique for the enhancement of the fatigue strength of the chain link plate in the drive system of a military armoured vehicle. SAE 1541 steel link plates of chains were subjected to cyclical tensile stress due to repeated loading and un-loading conditions. The crack was getting originated from the pitch hole and growth perpendicular to the chain pulling load, due to fatigue mechanism. In general plate holes are manufactured using the conventional process. An additional novel technique called the slip ball burnishing (SBB) method is applied for improving the hole properties. The improvement is made by producing local plastic deformation, improving surface finish and compressive residual stress throughout in the pierced hole. Both the conventional process (CP) and the SBB technique have been evaluated by optical, profile, surface roughness and micro harness tests. Experimental fatigue test validations were done in both chain samples using the Johnson-Goodman method. SBB chains passed 3x106 cycles at the load of 17.61 kN and CP chains passed 3x106 cycles at the load of 13.92 kN. The conclusion was that SBB made a significant improvement of 26.51 per cent of fatigue strength compared to CP.

Shot peening is a surface treatment and improves the performance of engineering components. More recently, a new type of microshot has been developed to enhance peening effect. In the present study, the influence of microshot peening on the surface layer characteristics of cold tool steel was investigated. In the experiment, the microshot peening apparatus with a heating furnace was produced experimentally. The projective method of the microshot was a compressed air type. The peening microshots of 0.1mm diameter were cemented carbide and the workpiece was commercially cold tool steel SKD11. Surface roughness, compressive residual stress, and hardness in the peened workpiece were measured. The effect of microshot peening on the fatigue strength of cold tool steel was also examined. The use of hard microshot such as cemented carbide was found to cause a significantly enhanced peening effect for cold tool steel.

Abstract As the core component of aero-engine, the service performance of aero-engine blade has an important influence on the engine’s reliability and safety performance. Existing studies have shown that machined surface characteristics affect the fatigue strength of components. However, current studies are all based on regular fatigue samples. The structure of blades different from fatigue samples, and the influence mechanism of structural differences on the service performance of blades is still unclear. In addition, the conventional fatigue test conditions are not representative for the blades’ actual service conditions, so it is difficult to realize the processing process for the service performance optimization. In this study, the aero-engine blades processed by abrasive belt grinding and the vibration fatigue test bench were used to explore the influence of surface roughness, surface texture, and surface residual stress on the fatigue performance of aero-engine blades under actual working conditions. The aero-engine blades were ground with different process parameters to obtain different single-factor surface characteristics. By comparing the vibration fatigue life of blades with different surface features, the influence degree of each surface feature on the fatigue life was explored. Results showed that surface roughness has the greatest influence on fatigue strength, followed by residual stress, and surface texture has the least influence on fatigue strength.

The objective of this paper is to clarify the effect of grinding surface characteristics in the grinding of a titanium alloy with a coolant supply from the inner side of the grinding wheel. In this paper, we selected a white aluminum oxide (WA) vitrified bonded grinding wheel and a green silicon carbide (GC) vitrified bonded grinding wheel, and compared their grinding characteristics. As a result, in the case of the GC vitrified bonded grinding wheel, the surface roughness decreased by about 54% and the compressive residual stress increased by about 128%.

Small steel ball is utilized in Shot peening process. Called “shot ball” are shot in high speed on the surface of metal. When the shot ball hit the surface, it makes plastic deformation and bounce off, that increase the fatigue life by compressive residual stress on surface. In this study, the results of observation on the tensile strength, hardness, surface roughness, compressive residual stress and fatigue life of a shot peened Al6061-T651 were obtained. Experimental results show that arc height increase tremendously by shot velocity. Also, it shows that surface roughness, hardness, compressive residual stress and fatigue life increase as shot velocity increase.

Compressive residual stress is the major aspect in the extension of the fatigue life of aeroengine components. In this study, a modified burnishing surface treatment and conventional shot peening process was used was proposed to improve surface integrity characteristics such as surface finish, hardness, and stable, advantageous compressive residual stress in turned Cylindrical Aluminum 2024Specimen. In burnishing process, a rolling rigid spherical HSS ball is pressed across an Aluminum 2024Specimen under definite fluid pressure generated by the hydraulic unit and also shot peening was carried out at a shot velocity of 300 m/s. This research examined the effect of burnishing treatment and shot peening process on beneficial compressive residual stresses.

In this study, we selected the nitride Cr-Mo Steel SCM435 as the substrate. Attention was focussed on the effect of film thickness. The Arc Ion Plating was performed using Cr cathode and N2 gas. The specimens were prepared for the film thickness 6, 12 and 18μm The three point bending fatigue tests were performed at room temperature in a laboratory environment. After the fatigue test, crack initiation sites were examined by using an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope. The results obtained were as follows: (1) A high compressive residual stress generated in the film, and the compressive residual stress of 12μm film thickness was the greatest. (2) The fatigue strength of coated specimens for thin film was slightly lower than for substrate. (3) The film thickness hardly affected the fatigue strength of coated specimens.

In order to enhance the efficiency and the surface smooth degree of the RBSiC grinding, a three factors two levels full factorial design was utilized to optimize the process. Combined with the effects of grinding parameters on surface roughness, the grit cut depth analysis was employed to choose the appropriate grinding parameters. The strength reliability and the residual stresses of the RBSiC ground using the optimized parameters were investigated. The results show that comparing to the polished RBSiC the ground ones have higher compressive residual stress, lower crack scatter and similar average bending strength.
