Shock Peening

The goal of this work was to determine effects of laser shock peening (LSP) on the fatigue life of the nickel-based superalloy, as well as the mechanism including the residual stress-depth profile (both depth of compression and magnitude) and the microstructure. The vibration fatigue performance of the standard test coupons made by Ni-based superalloy K417 with and without laser shock peening is researched. The residual stress distribution and microscopic structure after LSP are tested and analyzed by X-ray diffraction, SEM and TEM. The results indicated that the compress residual stress is up to 1.0mm in the test coupons after LSP, and the maximum residual compressive stress is about 660MPa under the surface. At the same time, the high pressure shock wave caused by laser propagate into the material which formed high density dislocation in the surface of the samples, and the γ' is divided leading to increase the sub-grain. Because of the deep residual compressive stress, high density dislocation and much more sub-grains, the vibration fatigue strength is improved about 180MPa by LSP. It is very instructive in the structure design and applying LSP to Ni-based superalloy.

This paper reports the effectiveness of residual stress fields induced by laser shock peening (LSP) to recover pristine fatigue life. Scratches 50 and 150 μm deep with 5 μm root radii were introduced into samples of 2024-T351 aluminium sheet 2 mm thick using a diamond tipped tool. LSP was applied along the scratch in a band 5 mm wide. Residual stress fields induced were measured using incremental hole drilling. Compressive residual stress at the surface was-78 MPa increasing to-204 MPa at a depth of 220 μm. Fatigue tests were performed on peened, unpeened, pristine and scribed samples. Scratches reduced fatigue lives by factors up to 22 and LSP restored 74% of pristine life. Unpeened samples fractured at the scratches however peened samples did not fracture at the scratches but instead on the untreated rear face of the samples. Crack initiation still occurred at the root of the scribes on or close to the first load cycle in both peened and unpeened samples. In peened samples the crack at the root of the scribe did not progress to failure, suggesting that residual stress did not affect initiation behaviour but instead FCGR. A residual stress model is presented to predict crack behaviour in peened samples.

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.

Improve Fatigue

In order to improve fatigue life of GH3039 superalloy, GH3039 superalloy sheets were treated by laser shock peening (LSP). The microstructure of GH3039 superalloy before and after LSP was characterized using an optical microscope, transmission electron microscope (TEM), and X-ray diffractometer. The fatigue life of the samples with and without LSP was investigated by fatigue experiments. Moreover, surface profile and residual stress were also examined. Experimental results indicated that the grains in the surface layer of the LSP sample were remarkably refined and reached the nanometer scale. The average surface roughness increased from 0.024 μm to 0.19 μm after LSP. The average fatigue life of the laser treated samples was 2.01 times larger than that of the untreated specimens. Additionally, mathematical statistical analysis confirms that LSP has a significant influence on the fatigue life of GH3039 superalloy. The improvement of fatigue life for the laser processed GH3039 superalloy was mainly attributed to compressive residual stress and grain refinement generated by LSP.

Gh4169 Alloy

Laser shock peening (LSP), as an innovative surface treatment technology, can effectively improve fatigue life, surface hardness, corrosion resistance, and residual compressive stress. Compared with laser shock peening, warm laser shock peening (WLSP) is a newer surface treatment technology used to improve materials’ surface performances, which takes advantage of thermal mechanical effects on stress strengthening and microstructure strengthening, resulting in a more stable distribution of residual compressive stress under the heating and cyclic loading process. In this paper, the microstructure of the GH4169 nickel superalloy processed by WLSP technology with different laser parameters was investigated. The proliferation and tangling of dislocations in GH4169 were observed, and the dislocation density increased after WLSP treatment. The influences of different treatments by LSP and WLSP on the microhardness distribution of the surface and along the cross-sectional depth were investigated. The microstructure evolution of the GH4169 alloy being shocked with WLSP was studied by TEM. The effect of temperature on the stability of the high-temperature microstructure and properties of the GH4169 alloy shocked by WLSP was investigated.

Shock Peening

In the laser shock peening process of titanium alloy thin blades, a shock wave will be repeatedly reflected and coupled in the blades, resulting in the failure of the formation of a gradient residual compressive stress layer, which is the key to improve fatigue performance and resist foreign object impact. This paper takes TC17 titanium alloy sheet as the research object to reveal the influence mechanism on residual stress-strain profile of shock wave reflection-coupling by shock wave propagation and key position dynamic response. Based on the result of influence mechanism, two wave transmission methods are proposed to regulate shock wave in order to reduce the intensity of shock wave reflection. The analysis shows that the high strength stress be formed when the shock wave is reflected and coupled in the sheet, which causes the re-plastic deformation and the decrease of transverse plastic strain. This eventually leads to residual tensile stress up to 410 MPa being formed within a 0.5 mm radial direction and 0.3 mm deep of the spot range. The use of "soft" and "hard" wave-transmitting layers greatly reduces the shock wave reflection intensity, and under the condition of the "hard" wave-transmitting layer, a better impedance matching is achieved, resulting in a residual compressive stress of about 400 MPa.

The Impact

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.

Welded joints made of 6061-T6 Al alloy were studied to evaluate warm laser shock peening (WLSP) and laser shock peening (LSP) processes. The estimation model of laser-induced surface residual stress was examined by means of experiments and numerical analysis. The high-cycle fatigue lives of welded joint specimens treated with WLSP and LSP were estimated by conducting tensile fatigue tests. The fatigue fracture mechanisms of these specimens are studied by surface integrity and fracture surface tests. Experimental results and analysis indicated that the fatigue life of the specimens processed by WLSP was higher than that with LSP. The large increase in fatigue life appeared to be the result of the larger residual stress, more uniform microstructure refinement and the lower surface roughness of the WLSP specimens.
