Residual stresses play a fundamental role in mechanical engineering. They can be generated by manufacturing processes or introduced purposely by surface treatment technologies. One of the most recent technologies developed to introduce residual stresses is Laser Shock Peening. Since it is a relatively expensive technology, a fundamental role is played by the Finite Element Analysis approach to predict the final residual stress profile. The FEA approach consists of either direct simulation of the LSP process or the application of the eigenstrain approach. The application of the eigenstrain theory in predicting residual stresses after LSP treatment in curved edges is the subject of this research.

Abstract For conventional laser shock peening, the positive influence of compressive residual stresses on fatigue strength is well understood. To protect the material’s surface from ablation, a sacrificial layer is applied. This, however, leads to an additional process step, which deteriorates its economic efficiency. Thus, laser shock peening without coating (LPwC) is more frequently investigated for industrial applications. However, LPwC increases the thermal impact on the material, which may provoke tensile residual stresses in the surface region. In this regard, understanding the influence of LPwC on the residual stress state and deriving a suitable state, e.g., for subsequent applications or forming operations, result in a design of experiment with numerous residual stress measurements. Residual stress-depth-profiles obtained by X-ray diffraction are time-consuming and cost intensive. Hence, a model is proposed to predict the residual stress-depth-profile of LPwC-processed thin sheets. The analytical model is based on the source stress model and uses experimental results, namely hardness as well as shape change measurements. Sheets made of X5CrNi18-10 and with a thickness of 1 mm are LPwC-processed with a nanosecond fiber laser. In the thermally dominated area where tensile residual stresses are present, the model agrees well with the experimental measurements. Moreover, it is revealed that LPwC leads to a saturation of residual stress level maximum and depth in dependence of pulse energy, repetition rate and number of repetitions. Subsequently, the model is used for tailoring the stress profile of thin sheets by LPwC for subsequent bottom bending.

The control of residual stress is crucial in ensuring the integrity of engineering components and Laser Shock Peening (LSP) process can be used to good effect to introduce the beneficial compressive residual stress levels required. It is, however, difficult to use normal laser peening control systems to establish the ideal peening conditions that will result in the best component performance. This paper presents results from a study to optimise the laser peening parameters for a typical titanium super alloy used in high performance turbine blade by investigating how the main peening process parameters influence residual stress profiles resulted by numerical simulations. Statistical Design of Experiments (DoE) was used to limit the number of experiments required for optimisation to be possible. Using this technique and numerical depth profiling methods for residual stress analysis, the maximum compressive residual stresses in Ti-6Al-4V were measured for a range of peening conditions. The results of the detailed process characterisation investigations have shown that, by using careful DoE, it is possible to fully optimise the laser shock peening process to obtain greater benefits than would be possible with traditional control processes.

Residual Stress Profile

The aim of the study presented here was to evaluate the residual stresses present in a bar of aluminium alloy 2124-T1 matrix composite (MMC) reinforced with 25vol% particulate silicon carbide (SiCp) using X-ray diffraction and 3D profilometry (curvature measurement using Mitutoyo/Renishaw coordinate measurement machine) and comparing these results with numerical models of residual strain and stress profiles obtained by a simple inelastic bending model and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The residual strain distribution was introduced into the test piece by plastic deformation in the 4-point bending configuration. At the first stage of this study the elasticplastic behaviour of the MMC was characterized under static and cyclic loading to obtain the material parameters, hardening proprieties and cyclic hysteresis loops. Subsequently, synchrotron Xray diffraction and CMM curvature measurements were performed to deduce the residual stress profile in the central section of the bar. The experimental data obtained from these measurements were used in the inelastic bending and FEA simulations. The specimens were then subjected to incremental slitting using EDM (electric discharge machining) with continuous back and front face strain gauge monitoring. The X-ray diffraction and incremental slitting results were then analysed using direct and inverse eigenstrain methods. Residual stresses plots obtained by different methods show good agreement with each other.

Shock Peening

Laser shock peening (LSP) is an innovative surface treatment technique successfully applied to improving fatigue performance of metallic material. The specific characteristic of (LSP) is the generation of a low work-hardening and a deep compressive residual stresses mechanically produced by a laser-induced shock wave propagating in the material. The aim of this study is to analyse the residual stress distribution induced by laser peening in 2050-T8 aluminium alloy experimentally by the X-ray diffraction technique (method sin2Y) and numerically, by a finite element numerical modelling. A specific focus was put on the residual stress distribution along the surface of the impacted material.

Laser shock peening is a very effective mechanical surface treatment to enhance the fatigue behaviour of highly stressed components. In this work the effect of different laser shock peening conditions on the residual stress depth profile and fatigue behaviour without any sacrificial coating layer is investigated for two high strength titanium alloys, Ti-6Al-4V and Timetal LCB. The results show that the optimization of peening conditions is crucial to obtain excellent fatigue properties. Especially, power density, spot size and coverage severely influence the residual stress profile of laser shock peened Ti-6Al-4V and Timetal LCB specimens. For both alloys, subsurface as well as surface compressive residual stress peaks can be obtained by varying the peening conditions. In general, Timetal LCB exhibits steeper stress gradients than Ti-6Al-4V for identical peening conditions. The main parameters affecting the fatigue life are near-surface cold work and compressive residual stresses.

AbstractLaser powder bed fusion is an additive manufacturing technique extensively used for the production of metallic components. Despite this process has reached a status at which parts are produced with mechanical properties comparable to those from conventional production, it is still prone to introduce detrimental tensile residual stresses towards the surfaces along the building direction, implying negative consequences on fatigue life and resistance to crack formations. Laser shock peening (LSP) is a promising method adopted to compensate tensile residual stresses and to introduce beneficial compressive residual stress on the treated surfaces. Using neutron Bragg edge imaging, we perform a parametric study of LSP applied to 316L steel samples produced by laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing. We include in the study the novel 3D-LSP technique, where samples are LSP treated also during the building process, at intermediate build layers. The LSP energy and spot overlap were set to either 1.0 or 1.5 J and 40$$\%$$ % or 80$$\%$$ % respectively. The results support the use of 3D-LSP treatment with the higher LSP laser energy and overlap applied, which showed a relative increase of surface compressive residual stress (CRS) and CRS depth by 54$$\%$$ % and 104$$\%$$ % respectively, compared to the conventional LSP treatment.
