The micromechanical properties of Zr-based metallic glass (MG) induced by laser shock peening (LSP) were studied through the use of nanoindentation. The serrations in representative load-displacement (P-h) curves exhibited a transformation from stairstep-like to ripple-shaped from untreated zone to shock region, which implied an increase in plastic deformation ability of material after LSP. Significant hardening was also observed in the impact zone, which can be attributed to the effect of compressive residual stress. Both increase in hardness and plastic deformation ability in shock region indicate the excellent effect of LSP on the micromechanical properties of investigated Zr-based MG, which provide a new way to study the deformation mechanism in metallic glasses and a further understanding of plasticization.

Laser shock peening is a promising effective approach for improving mechanical properties of metallic glass. In this work, laser shock peening was employed to study the surface morphologies of metallic glasses with different toughness. Numerous localized circular-or arc-shaped structures, with the size of 5~20 μm, were observed in the shock treated surface. The number of these unique localized structures has a close correlation to the ability of metallic glass to accommodate plastic deformation. In addition, the surface morphology evolution of Zr-based metallic glasses with different crystalline degrees is also discussed, indicating that the circular-or arc-shaped structures only appear in fully amorphous system.

A Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 (vit1) bulk metallic glass was processed by Nd: Glass laser pulses with duration 30ns and energy in the range 20 to 30J. The surface morphology and surface micro-hardness of the vit1 metallic glass, treated with varying laser energy, had been studied in detail. Laser shock peening induced plastic deformation and caused a micro-dent to be generated on the vit1 surface. The optical profiling tests showed that laser pulse energy greatly influenced the diameter and depth of the micro-dents. The surface roughness which was caused by various laser pulse energy was assessed and characterized. The three-dimensional surface topography of the laser treated region on vit1 surfaces had been characterized. In addition the plastic deformation features were also studied.

This paper, using the finite element software ABAQUS, establishes the model of laser shock peening (LSP) of TC4 titanium alloy, and analyzes the influence of different parameters on the residual stress of TC4 titanium alloy and plastic deformation. The results show that LSP can make the surface of TC4 titanium alloy have large compressive stress and plastic deformation, hardness and prolong the fatigue life of materials. Laser energy and the impact frequency are the main factor of surface residual stress effects. The multi-point LSP can perform processing enhanced in surface area, and form residual compressive stress on the surface of the material and in a certain depth.

To solve the crack and fracture problem in blade made of K403 alloy, the samples of K403 are laser shock processed and then the microstructure, microhardness, residual compressive stress and surface roughness of the samples are tested. The test results show that some grains are observed refined in the grain boundary of shock region, the microhardness improves in a depth of 0.8mm from the surface and the surface microhardness improves 16%, a residual compressive stress which is more than 450MPa is developed in a depth of 1mm from the surface, and obvious changes of the surface roughness are not tested.

Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is used to investigate crystal lattice rotation caused by plastic deformation during high-strain rate laser shock peening in single crystal aluminum and copper sample on 110¯ and (001) surfaces. New experimental methodologies are employed which enable measurement of the in-plane lattice rotation under approximate plane-strain conditions. Crystal lattice rotation on and below the microscale laser shock peened sample surface was measured and compared with the simulation result obtained from FEM analysis, which account for single crystal plasticity. The lattice rotation measurements directly complement measurements of residual strain/stress with X-ray micro-diffraction using synchrotron light source and it also gives an indication of the extent of the plastic deformation induced by the microscale laser shock peening.

In this paper, the microstructure and hardness of Ti-5Al-2Sn-2Zr-4Mo-4Cr titanium alloy with and without laser shock peening (LSP) were examined and compared. The titanium alloy samples were laser shock peened with different layers at the same power density. The microscopic structure after LSP are tested and analyzed by SEM and TEM. The results indicated that LSP changed the microstructure evidently. After 3 layers laser shock peening, there are nanocrystallization in the LSP zone. The shock wave provided high strain rate deformation and generated high-density dislocations in the material. Multiple severe plastic deformation caused by 3 to 5 LSP layers helped to rearrange the resultant dislocation, to form dislocation networks, leading to the formation of nanocrystallites. On the other hand, the microhardness across the polished surfaces of the titanium materials with and without LSP was measured. It is obvious that the laser shock peening improved the microhardness of the Ti-5Al-2Sn-2Zr-4Mo-4Cr for about 16% at the surface, and the affected depth is about 300 microns from the surface.

Laser shock peening (LSP) is a surface modification technique to improve the mechanical properties of metals and alloys, where physical phenomena are difficult to investigate, due to short time scales and extreme physical values. In this regard, simulations can significantly contribute to understand the underlying physics. In this paper, a coupled simulation approach for LSP is presented. A global model of laser–matter–plasma interaction is applied to determine the plasma pressure, which is used as surface loading in finite element (FE) simulations in order to predict residual stress (RS) profiles in the target material. The coupled model is applied to the LSP of AA2198-T3 with water confinement, 3×3mm2 square focus and 20 ns laser pulse duration. This investigation considers the variation in laser pulse energy (3 J and 5 J) and different protective coatings (none, aluminum and steel foil). A sensitivity analysis is conducted to evaluate the impact of parameter inaccuracies of the global model on the resulting RS. Adjustment of the global model to different laser pulse energies and coating materials allows us to compute the temporal pressure distributions to predict RS with FE simulations, which are in good agreement with the measurements.
