The microstructure and mechanical properties of the peened samples were studied. During the impact wear test, the energy absorption, impact force, wear contact time and wear mechanism of all the test samples were investigated in terms of the influence of the impact kinetic energy. The results showed that microhardness, elastic modulus and residual compressive stress of the treated samples were markedly improved. The wear resistances of both treated samples were highly improved after LSP, and a higher pulse energy corresponded to a more obvious effect. Besides, the wear in all test samples involved a combination of abrasive and oxidation wear and fatigue spalling.展开更多

During the laser shock peening, an acoustic emission sen- sor at a defined position is used to collect the acoustic wave signals that propagate in the air. The acoustic wave signal is sampled, stored, digitally filtered and analyzed by the online laser shock peening detection system. Then the system gets the acoustic wave signal energy to measure the quality of the laser shock peening by establishing the correspondence between the acoustic wave signal energy and the laser pulse energy. The surface residual stresses of the samples are measured by X-ray stress analysis instrument to verify the reliability. The results show that both the surface residual stress and acoustic wave signal energy are increased with the laser pulse energy, and their growth trends are consistent. Finally, the empirical formula between the surface residual stress and the acoustic wave signal energy is established by the cubic equation fitting, which will provide a theoretical basis for the real-time online detection of laser shock peening.展开更多

Multiple LSP treatment was performed on compact tension(CT) specimen from single side and double sides. The surface integrity was measured with Vickers hardness tester, X-ray diffractometer and confocal laser scanning microscope, respectively. FCG rate test and fracture toughness test under plane stress were carried out after LSP treatment. The microstructure features of cross-sections were observed with scanning electron microscope. The results showed that the micro-hardness and residual stress of CT specimens were increased dramatically after LSP treatment. Compared to the base metal(BM), the fatigue life was prolonged by 2.4 times and fracture toughness was increased by 22% after multiple LSP.展开更多

This treatment can reduce the rate of fatigue cracking and stress corrosion cracking in structural metals or alloys. In this paper, some preliminary experiments were carried out with Nd:Glass laser of a pulse of 20 ns duration and 1.064 μm wavelength, an energy per pulse of 10 to 60 joules, and specimen was selected LY12CZ. The residual stress along the thickness effected by number of laser shots was taken into account in experiment. The magnitude of compressive residual stress near the surface increases with number of laser shots increasing, while decreases with the depth increasing. The mathematical modeling of laser shock processing was established, and a finite-element analysis method was based on ABAQUSExplicit software. The results of simulation are in agreement with those of the experiments, which indicate that the numerical simulation can play a direction role in laser shot peening.展开更多
