Laser peen texturing (LPT) is a novelty way of surface texturing based on laser shock processing. One of the most important benefits of LPT is that it can not only fabricate surface textures but also induce residual compressive stress for the target material. However, the residual stress loss leads to partial loss of residual compressive stress and even causes residual tensile stress at the laser spot center. This phenomenon is not conducive to improving the mechanical properties of materials. In this study, a numerical simulation model of LPT was developed and validated by comparison of surface deformation with experiments. In order to investigate the phenomenon of residual stress loss quantitatively, an evaluation method of residual stress field was proposed. The effects of laser power density and laser spot radius on the residual stress, especially the residual stress loss, were systematically investigated. It is found that with the increase of laser power density or laser spot radius, the thickness of residual compressive layer in depth direction becomes larger. However, both the magnitude and the affecting zone size of residual stress loss will be increased, which implies a more severe residual stress loss phenomenon.

In the experiment, we use pulsed laser to conduct discrete scratching on Ni-containing stainless steel protective coatings to test residual stress situation after the matrix is scratched; then to analyze the the impact of the impact stress wave on coating - substrate bonding strength according to the test results, finally to infer the laser power density range within which it occurs coating failure. The study shows that: after laser discrete scratching, the residual stress of the center of the laser-loaded point on matrix surface gradually reduces when the pulsed laser power density increases. The matrix produces a corresponding residual compressive stress under the laser power density reaches a certain value. The actual failure threshold values are 12.006 GW/cm2, 11.829GW/cm2 and 12.193GW/cm2 measured by the three-dimensional topography instrument testing the discrete scratch point of three groups of samples and verified by using a microscope

Ultrasonic impact treatment (UIT) is an effective method that has been widely applied in welding structure to improve the fatigue properties of materials. It combines mechanical impact and ultrasonic vibration to produce plastic deformation on the weld joints surface, which introduces beneficial compressive residual stress distribution. To evaluate the effect of UIT technology on alleviating the residual stress of welded joints, a novel numerical analysis method based on the inherent strain theory is proposed to simulate the stress superposition of welding and subsequent UIT process of 304 stainless steel. Meanwhile, the experiment according to the process was carried out to verify the simulation of residual stress values before and after UIT. By the results, optimization of UIT application could effectively reduce the residual stress concentration after welding process. Residual tensile stress of welded joints after UIT is transformed into residual compressive stress. UIT formed a residual compressive stress layer with a thickness of about 0.13 mm on the plate. The numerical simulation results are consistent with the experimental results. The work in this paper could provide theoretical basis and technical support for the reasonable evaluation of the ultrasonic impact on residual stress elimination and mechanical properties improvement of welded joints.

Theoretical analysis and experiments on bearing race show that a suitable residual compressive stress on roll path of bearing race can prolong its contact fatigue life. However, residual tensile stress is often found on workpiece surface of bearing race. To actively control the residual stress state and improve fatigue life of bearing part, a new method of pre-stress hard cutting is applied. In this paper, the principle of pre-stress hard cutting for bearing race is introduced as well as the experiments on it. In the experiments, residual stress, hardness and roughness of machined surface are measured and analyzed. Moreover, micro-topography and texture characteristics of machined surface are investigated and experimental results are compared with that by grinding. It is found that we can get residual compressive stress and fine quality on machined surface of bearing race by pre-stress hard cutting and increase its productivity as well.

The residual stress of machined surface has a crucial influence on the performance of parts. It results in large deviations in terms of the position accuracy, dimension accuracy and service life. The purpose of the present study is to provide a novel semi-empirical residual stress prediction approach for turning Inconel 718. In the method, the bimodal Lorentz function was originally applied to express the residual stress distribution. A statistical model between the coefficients of the bimodal Lorentz function and cutting parameters was established by the random forest regression, in order to predict the residual stress distribution along the depth direction. Finally, the turning experiments, electrolytic corrosion peeling, residual stress measurement and correlation analysis were carried out to verify the accuracy of predicted residual stress. The results show that the bimodal Lorentz function has a great fitting accuracy. The adjusted R2 (Ad-R2) are ranging from 95.4% to 99.4% and 94.7% to 99.6% in circumferential and axial directions, respectively. The maximum and minimum errors of the surface residual tensile stress (SRTS) are 124.564 MPa and 18.082 MPa, those of the peak residual compressive stress (PRCS) are 84.649 MPa and 3.009 MPa and those of the depth of the peak residual compressive stress (DPRCS) are 0.00875 mm and 0.00155 mm, comparing three key feature indicators of predicted and simulated residual stress. The predicted residual stress is highly correlated with the measured residual stress, with correlation coefficients greater than 0.8. In the range of experimental measurement error, the research in the present work provides a quite accurate method for predicting the residual stress in turning Inconel 718, and plays a vital role in controlling the machining deformation of parts.

The ABAQUS software was used to analyze the residual stress of TiN film treated by the single point micro-scale laser shock peening (μLSP). In view of the multi-factor effect of μLSP, the response surface methodology (RSM) of Design-Expert software was utilized to analyze the influence of laser process parameters on the residual stress in TiN film, based on the Box-Behnken experimental design methods, as a result, optimal combination of the laser process parameters was obtained. The results showed that μLSP can transform the tensile residual stress in the TiN film into the compressive residual stress, the compressive residual stress was gradually increasing with the increased laser power density, when the laser power density was 8 GW/cm2, the maximum compressive residual stress of the film surface was up to -350.48 MPa. In addition, as the laser power density increased, the maximum compressive residual stress was moving away from the spot center. The optimal combination of the laser process parameters of μLSP was obtained by the RSM, the laser power density was 7.6 GW/cm2, laser spot diameter was 283 μm, and the number of shocking was 2 times. Simulation results of the average residual stress was -248.76 MPa, while the predicting result of regression model was -245.31 MPa, the error was just 1.38 %. The results showed that μLSP was feasible for improving the residual stress distribution of TiN film, and the RSM can effectively optimize the process parameters of μLSP.

Using a simple rate equation model, the laser power density Ic necessary to reach 50% of the saturation limited population of the excited atomic level under typical flame conditions is calculated. For Na atoms aspirated into the flame a saturating power density for irradiation with a narrow dye laser line (bandwidth 0.033 Å) of Ic ~ 0.4 kW/cm2 was determined. With the aid of a dye laser with an appropriate laser power density, analytical curves for Na were measured yielding a detection limit of 0.2 ng/ml. This sensitivity is comparable with the best results obtained by atomic emission flame spectrometry.
