An experimental study was conducted to explore the surface preparation as well as the effects of high-pressure waterjet peening at 600MPa on the surface integrity and finish of metals. The concept of larger droplet size and multiple droplet impacts resulting from an ultra-high-pressure waterjet was used to explore and develop the peening process. A combination of microstructure analysis, microhardness measurements, and profilometry were used in determining the depth of plastic deformation and surface finish that result from the surface treatment process. It was found that waterjet peening at 600MPa induces plastic deformation to greater depths in the subsurface layer of metals than laser shock peening. The degree of plastic deformation and the state of the material surface were found to be strongly dependent on the peening conditions and desired surface roughness. Based on these first investigation results, water peening at 600MPa may serve as a new method for introducing compressive residual stresses in engineering components.

Ultra high-pressure waterjets (UHP-WJ) have been emerging as a viable method for surface texturing, cleaning, and peening of metallic materials. Previous experimental studies have suggested that removal of material can be related to the energy density of the waterjet impinging upon the workpiece, rather than the net energy. The net energy transferred to the workpiece is a function of four key process parameters, namely, (i) orifice diameter, (ii) orifice geometry, (iii) supply pressure, and (iv) traverse rate. The energy density also incorporates jet spreading as well as flow rate and impulse pressure distributions within the waterjet. In this paper, a novel representation of the power distribution within the waterjet is presented, as well as a relationship governing jet-material interaction. Empirical validation on a Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy is presented, with good correlation noted between the predicted and experimental results.

AbstractThe classical concept of collisional orogens suggests that mountain belts form as a crustal wedge between the downgoing and overriding plates. However, this orogenic style is not compatible with the presence of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle rocks far from the plate interface in the Bohemian Massif of Central Europe. Here we use a comparison between geological observations and thermo-mechanical numerical models to explain their formation. We suggest that continental crust was first deeply subducted, then flowed laterally underneath the lithosphere and eventually rose in the form of large partially molten trans-lithospheric diapirs. We further show that trans-lithospheric diapirism produces a specific rock association of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle rocks and ultra-potassic magmas that alternates with the less metamorphosed rocks of the upper plate. Similar rock associations have been described in other convergent zones, both modern and ancient. We speculate that trans-lithospheric diapirism could be a common process.
