Abstract Ultrasonic impact peening (UIP) is not only a mature technique of surface treatment, but also a promising method of surface texturing for promoting performance and functionalities of components and devices. In the present work, we demonstrate the feasibility of applying UIP in the manufacturing of high precision surface micro-structures on 316L stainless steel using a YG6 cemented carbide tool. Specifically, analytical investigation of the material deformation map under UIP is carried out, which is validated by corresponding finite element simulations based on a combined nonlinear isotropic/kinematic hardening model, as well as experiments performed on home-made UIP apparatus. Finally, surface micro-structures of aligned grooves with a depth of 2 µm and a periodicity of 240 µm are fabricated by using UIP, and are subsequently subjected to linear reciprocating ball-disk sliding tests. Corresponding experimental results show that the micro-structures fabricated by UIP possess comparable accuracy of groove morphology and frictional properties with that fabricated by using ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting using a single crystal diamond tool. The present work sheds lights on the low-cost fabrication of high precision surface micro-structures on ferrous metals by mature UIP technique.

The manufacturing of precise surface microstructures with low cost is needed for surface texturing-based surface engineering. In this paper, a device for the fabrication of surface microgroove texture on stainless steel based on ultrasonic impact peening (UIP) is proposed and investigated. First, the principle of applying the UIP into the fabrication of surface texture is analytically described. Then, the design of the UIP device, particularly the design of functional systems and mechanical structures, is carried out. Next, a UIP experimental device is built, and is further applied to fabricate microgroove textures on 316L stainless steel. The subsequent experimental characterization of microgroove morphology demonstrates the feasibility of the designed UIP device for the fabrication of stainless steel surface texture.

One of the most important components in the hydraulic fracturing is a type of positive-displacement-reciprocating-pumps known as a fracture pump. The fluid end module of the pump is prone to failure due to unconventional drilling impacts of the fracking. The basis of the fluid end module can be attributed to cross bores. Stress concentration locations appear at the bores intersections and as a result of cyclic pressures failures occur. Autofrettage is one of the common technologies to enhance the fatigue resistance of the fluid end module through imposing the compressive residual stresses. However, evaluating the stress–strain evolution during the autofrettage and approximating the residual stresses are vital factors. Fluid end module geometry is complex and there is no straightforward analytical solution for prediction of the residual stresses induced by autofrettage. Finite element analysis (FEA) can be applied to simulate the autofrettage and investigate the stress–strain evolution and residual stress fields. Therefore, a nonlinear kinematic hardening material model was developed and calibrated to simulate the autofrettage process on a typical commercial triplex fluid end module. Moreover, the results were compared to a linear kinematic hardening model and a 6–12% difference between two models was observed for compressive residual hoop stress at different cross bore corners. However, implementing nonlinear FEA for solving the complicated problems is computationally expensive and time-consuming. Thus, the comparison between nonlinear FEA and a proposed analytical formula based on the notch strain analysis for a cross bore was performed and the accuracy of the analytical model was evaluated.
