Abstract Mechanical treatments such as grinding and shot peening are often employed in the production of case-carburized parts. Grinding, besides restoring precision, removes carbide films, internal oxidation, and high-temperature transformation products. Shot peening strengthens component surfaces and induces a stress state that increases fatigue resistance. This chapter describes both processes as well as roller burnishing. It explains how these treatments are applied and how they influence the microstructure, properties, and behaviors of case-hardened components. It also addresses process challenges, particularly in regard to grinding.

The effect of shot peening and roller burnishing on the fatigue performance of the γ(TiAl) alloy Ti-45Al-9Nb-0.2C was investigated over a wide range of processing intensities. At optimized conditions shot peening and roller burnishing can markedly improve the fatigue strength at ambient temperatures. For temperatures above 650 °C, the residual compressive stresses induced by shot peening and roller burnishing quickly relax. This indicates that, at elevated temperatures, surface roughness and dislocation strengthening become more important for the fatigue performance of mechanically surface-treated components. Roller burnishing leads to much lower surface roughness than shot peening, resulting in more effective improvement of high temperature fatigue performance. However, surface strengthening by shot peening can also be beneficial for the fatigue performance at elevated temperatures, when the surface roughness is reduced by subsequent polishing.

Numerous investigations have been performed in an attempt to improve fatigue strength of materials by creating compressive residual stresses in the surface layers as a result of the shot peening process. For example, during exploitation of the separating screener, some parts of screen sieve plate situated near the fixed edge undergo the largest deformation caused by impact bending and need special treatment. In this paper, the results of experimental tests are presented to analyse the effect of micro shot peening on surface layer characteristics and fatigue strength of steel sheet specimens. The effect of shot peening is more visible when fatigue life is taking into account. Thus, the use of shot peening of sheet surface made it possible to increase fatigue life of screener sieve.

The effects of peening conditions on the surface characteristics and fatigue life of titanium alloy was investigated using microshot peening, ultrasonic shot peening, and multiple shot peening. The use of microshot peening technology with minute media has become more widespread in consideration of the reduction of the notch effect in the material surface. The ultrasonic shot peening that uses media of several millimeters in size with ultrasonic vibration has attracted attention as a means to reduce the surface roughness. In the present study, an air-type and an ultrasonic type machine were used. In the microshot peening process, the media used was high-carbon cast steel and the hard powder, with an average diameter of 0.1 mm. The workpiece was commercial titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. In the microshot peening (MSP), work hardening was evident to the depth of approximately 0.3 mm from the surface. This depth was approximately three times the diameter of the media. However, the influence of the peening time on the hardness distribution was not great. In the ultrasonic shot peening (USP), work hardening was deeper in the material. This is because the diameter of the media used for ultrasonic machining was large. On the other hand, in the combined shot peening (CSP), a degree of hardness was higher at the top surface. However, the hardness patterns and values were pretty much identical to ultrasonic shot peening. The fatigue limit was thought to be greater in the microshot peening experiment because the work-hardened layer was formed near the workpiece surface.
