In order to study the effect of nitriding or shot peening on the surface modification and fatigue properties of martensitic stainless-steel Custom 465, the residual stress and micro-hardness of the strengthened layer are determined by X-ray and micro-hardness tester, respectively. The up-and-down method is used to measure the rotational bending fatigue strength at 1 × 107 cycles, and the fatigue fracture characteristic is observed by scanning electron microscopy. The relationship between surface residual stress and internal fatigue limit of surface strengthening treatment is discussed. Results show that nitriding or shot peening surface strengthening layer forms a certain depth of compressive residual stress, where in the surface compressive residual stress of the nitrided specimens is greater than the shot peened specimens. The micro-hardness of the nitrided or shot peened surface strengthening layer is significantly improved, where in the surface micro-hardness of nitriding specimens are higher than shot peening specimens. The nitriding or shot peening surface strengthening can significantly improve the fatigue limit of Custom 465, wherein the fatigue limits of nitrided and shot peened surface strengthened specimens are 50.09% and 50.66% higher than that of the un-surface strengthened specimens, respectively. That is, the effect of the two strengthening methods on fatigue limit is not very different. The fracture characteristics show that the fatigue crack of the un-surface strengthened specimens originates from the surface, while the fatigue crack of surface strengthened specimens originates from the subsurface layer under the strengthened layer. The relationship between the internal fatigue limit and the surface residual stress of the surface strengthened specimen can be used as a method for predicting the fatigue limit of the surface strengthened specimens.

AbstractEffects of shot peening on fatigue properties of Zr-based amorphous matrix composite containing ductile crystalline particles were investigated, and fatigue processes were analyzed and compared with those of an as-cast composite. The microstructural analysis results of the shot-peened composite surface indicated that the deformation and surface flexion were observed as the shot-peening time or pressure increased. The compressive residual stress formed on the shot-peened surface was about the half of the ultimate tensile strength, and was not varied much with shot-peening time or pressure. The fatigue limit and fatigue ratio of the shot-peened composite were considerably higher than those of the as-cast composite. This was because the compressive residual stress formed by the shot peening induced the initiation of fatigue cracks at the specimen interior, instead of the specimen surface, thereby leading to the enhanced fatigue limit and fatigue life.

This study evaluated fatigue crack growth characteristics, Besides consider compressive residual stress effect and verified the most suitable shot peening velocity. Fatigue crack growth delay effect was compressive residual stress, but over peening did action projecting velocity that accelerate fatigue crack growth rate. X-ray diffraction technique according to crack length direction was applied to fatigue fractured surface. Fracture mechanics parameters could be estimated by the measurement of X-ray parameters, and the fractography observation was performed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) for fatigue fracture surface. As the shot peening velocity increases, striation width increased. The changes in X-ray material parameters described above are directly related to the process of fatigue until the initiation of fatigue crack and X-ray diffraction pattern is thought that failure prediction with stress distribution is possible.

The characteristics of compressive residual stress fields induced by shot peening in 40CrNi2Si2MoVA, 16Co14Ni10Cr2Mo, 30CrMnSiNi2A and 0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al ultra-high strength steels, which are used widely in aeronautical industry were investigated, and the change of surface integrity including surface residual stress, surface roughness as well as its effects on fatigue properties were investigated. The results show that the fatigue limits of ultra-high strength steels can be increased by shot peening because the surface integrity can be ameliorated by shot peening, and that for a given steel there is a appropriate peening intensity under which the fatigue property of this steel is optimum. Finally, a judgement for the optimization condition of shot peening process is proposed based on a theory of micro-meso processes of fatigue crack initiation and experimental results. The technique should be considered to be optimum, if the fatigue crack source of shot peened specimen has been moved to the internal matrix metal region beneath the hardened layer; and its apparent fatigue limit has been improved and got to a value, which is near to that predicted according to the concept of surface/internal fatigue limit.

In this paper, in order to investigate the effect of the ultrasonic shot peening (USP) treatment on fatigue characteristics of the structural materials for hydroelectric facilities, plane bending fatigue tests were carried out using stainless cast steel ASTM CA6NM performed by USP treatment. The fatigue test results showed that the fatigue strength of the USP materials was approximately 60% higher than that of the untreated materials. In order to examine the reason for that, the effect of USP treatment on fatigue crack initiation behavior was evaluated based on the Haigh's diagram. This evaluation implied that increasing the crack initiation resistance associated with high hardness and high compressive residual stress at surface by USP treatment is the major cause for the improvement of fatigue strength. Furthermore, the effect of USP treatment on fatigue crack propagation behavior was also examined by simulating the crack growth rate considering the stress intensity factor at crack tip. Crack propagation simulation results suggested that compressive residual stress leads crack growth rate slow compared with untreated material.

Abstract Shot peening is widely used in the aerospace and other industries to increase the damage tolerance of metal parts via producing a thin surface layer of compressive residual stress that prevents crack initiation and retards crack growth during service. Nondestructive evaluation of the prevailing compressive residual stress in the shallow subsurface layer is complicated by the adverse effects of shot peening, such as surface roughness and cold work that manifests itself through increased dislocation density and localized texture. Recent research efforts have revealed that conventional ultrasonic and eddy current NDT methods are simply too sensitive to surface roughness to quantitatively assess the subtle variations in mechanical and electrical properties that are caused by shot peening. On the other hand, noncontacting thermoelectric techniques are very unique among all other methods used in nondestructive materials characterization in that they are solely sensitive to intrinsic material variations regardless of the size, shape, and surface quality of the specimen to be tested. Noncontacting thermoelectric methods, based on magnetic detection of local thermoelectric currents around inhomogeneities in metals when a temperature gradient is established throughout the specimen, are especially well suited for the characterization of shot peened surfaces. Experimental evidence suggests that this method can reliably detect and quantitatively assess otherwise hidden variations in material properties within the shallow surface layer of shot peened specimens. The thermoelectric method is sensitive to all three “material” effects of shot peening, namely residual stress, local texture, and increased dislocation density, but it is entirely insensitive to its “geometrical” by-product, i.e., the rough surface topography. Further development of the thermoelectric method is necessary to study the underlying physical phenomena before it can be successfully adapted to practical inspection problems, but the preliminary results presented in this paper are very promising.

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (3Y-TZP) containing 0.25% Al2O3, which is resistant to low temperature degradation (LTD), was aged for 10 h at 130–220 °C in air. The aged specimens were subsequently indented at loads ranging from 9.8 to 490 N using a Vickers indenter. The influence of preaging temperature on the biaxial strength of the specimens was investigated to elucidate the relationship between the extent of LTD and the strength of zirconia restorations that underwent LTD. The indented strength of the specimens increased as the preaging temperature was increased higher than 160 °C, which was accompanied by extensive t-ZrO2 (t) to m-ZrO2 (m) and c-ZrO2 (c) to r-ZrO2 (r) phase transformations. The influence of preaging temperature on the indented strength was rationalized by the residual stresses raised by the t→m transformation and the reversal of tensile residual stress on the aged specimen surface due to the indentation. The results suggested that the longevity of restorations would not be deteriorated if the aged restorations retain compressive residual stress on the surface, which corresponds to the extent of t→m phase transformation less than 52% in ambient environment.

The effects of heat treatment on distortion, residual stress, and retained austenite were compared for case-carburized 4320 steel, in both the austempered and quench-and-tempered condition. Navy C-ring samples were used to quantify both size and shape distortions, as well as residual stress. The austempering heat treatment produced less distortion and a higher surface residual stress. Both hoop and axial stresses were measured; the difference between them was less than seven percent in all cases. Depth profiles were obtained for residual stress and retained austenite from representative C-ring samples for the austempered and quench-and-tempered heat treatment conditions. Austempering maintained a compressive residual stress to greater depths than quench-and-tempering. Quench-and-tempering also resulted in lower retained austenite amounts immediately beneath the surface. However, for both heat treatments, the retained austenite content was approximately one percent at depths greater than 0.5 mm.

In this study, fatigue tests have been performed using two kinds of specimens made of 25 steel. One is pre-strained specimen with pre-strain ratio changing from 2% to 8% by tension, the other is roller worked with deformation of 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm in diameter direction. In the case of pre-strained specimen, the fatigue limit increases according to increase of tensile pre-strain, the fatigue limit of 8% pre-strained specimen is 25% higher than that of non-pre-strained one; in the case of roller worked specimen, the fatigue limit of R05 and R10 is 126% and 143% to that of non-roller worked specimen, respectively. These remarkable improvements of fatigue limit would be caused by the existence of compressive residual stress, work-hardening and the elongated microscopic structures.

Laser shock processing (LSP) employs high-energy laser pulses from a solid-state laser system to create intense shock waves into a material, which can induce compressive residual stresses in the target surface and improve its mechanical property efficiency. Residual stress of Ti6Al4V alloy both before and after LSP with multishocks was analysised. The depth of compressive residual stress was found to have a dependence on the number of shocking layers and a slight dependence on the level of irradiance. Surface stress improvements of more than 50% increases are possible after laser shock processing with either large spot or small spot patterns. The large spot gave a surface stress of 432MPa and a depth of over 1mm. The low intensity small spot gave a surface stress of 285MPa with a depth comparable to the large spot. Laser shock processing induces a compressive residual stress field, which increases fatigue crack initiation life and reduces fatigue crack growth rate.
