The Impact

This article presents the results of experimental studies of the impact of centrifugal shot peening parameters on the roughness, microstructure, and microhardness of the surface layer of laser-cut C45 steel parts. Residual stress distributions and the presence of iron oxides on the surface of these elements were also examined. Centrifugal shot peening tests were performed on an FV-580a vertical machining center while using a specially designed peening head. The parameters that were varied during centrifugal shot peening included tangential speed of the tool vg and feed rate vf. The use of centrifugal shot peening for finish machining of laser-cut C45 steel parts allowed for obtaining a four-fold reduction in the surface roughness parameters Ra and Rz. As a result of shot peening, the geometrical structure of the surface of the steel parts was modified and it acquired new beneficial features, such as large values of the rounding radii of the micropeaks and high material ratios (Rmrmax = 92%). At the same time, the surface layer was hardened (microhardness increased by 16%) and a compressive residual stress layer was produced on the surface of the workpieces. Additionally, as the shot impacted the processed surface, combustion products were “blasted” or “sheared” off it. Shot peening using the proposed technique can be successfully performed while using CNC machines.

The paper presents the results of experimental studies on the impact of impulse shot peening parameters on surface roughness (Sa, Sz, Sp, Sv), surface layer microhardness, and the mean positron lifetime (τmean). In the study, samples made of the Inconel 718 nickel alloy were subjected to impulse shot peening on an originally designed stand. The variable factors of the experiment included the impact energy, the diameter of the peening element, and the number of impacts per unit area. The impulse shot peening resulted in changes in the surface structure and an increase in surface layer microhardness. After the application of impulse shot peening, the analyzed roughness parameters increased in relation to post-milling values. An increase in microhardness was obtained, i.e., from 27 HV 0.05 to 108 HV 0.05 at the surface, while the maximum increase the microhardness occur at the depth from 0.04 mm to 0.08 mm. The changes in the physical properties of the surface layer were accompanied by an increase in the mean positron lifetime τmean. This is probably related to the increased positron annihilation in point defects. In the case of small surface deformations, the increase in microhardness was accompanied by a much lower increase in τmean, which may indicate a different course of changes in the defect structure consisting mainly in modification of the dislocation system. The dependent variables were subjected to ANOVA analysis of variance (it was one-factor analysis), and the effect of independent variables was evaluated using post-hoc tests (Tukey test).

Compressive Residual Stresses

The paper deals with the effect of different shot peening (SP) treatment conditions on the ENAW 7075-T651 aluminium alloy. Suitable residual stress profile increases the applicability and life cycle of mechanical parts, treated by shot peening. The objective of the research was to establish the optimal parameters of the shot peening treatment of the aluminium alloy in different precipitation hardened states with regard to residual stress profiles in dynamic loading. Main deformations and main residual stresses were calculated on the basis of electrical resistance. The resulting residual stress profiles reveal that stresses throughout the thin surface layer of all shot peened specimens are of compressive nature. The differences can be observed in the depth of shot peening and the profile of compressive residual stresses. Under all treatment conditions, the obtained maximum value of compressive residual stress ranges between -200 MPa and -300 MPa at a depth between 250 μm and 300 μm. Comparison of different temperature-hardened aluminium alloys shows that changes in the Almen intensity values have greater effect than coverage in the depth and profile of compressive residual stresses. Positive stress ratio of R=0.1 was selected. Wöhler curves were determined in the areas of maximum bending loads between 30 - 65 % of material's tensile strength, measured at thinner cross-sections of individual specimens. The results of material fatigue testing differ from the level of shot peening on the surface layer.

ABSTRACTThe shot peening process is known to produce a hard layer, known as the white layer” on the surface of coil springs. However, little is known about the fatigue properties of this white-layer.In this study, coil springs with a white-layer were manufactured. The surface of these springs was then examined using micro Vickers hardness, FE-SEM etc. to test fatigue strength of the springs.From the results obtained, a microstructure of the white-layer with grain size of 50–100 nm was observed, with a Vickers hardness rating of 8–10 GPa.Tow category springs were manufactured utilizing a double-peening process. These springs had the same residual stress destruction and surface roughness. Only one difference was observed: one spring had a nanocrystalline layer on the surface, while the other did not. The results of the fatigue test realized an increase in the fatigue life of the nanocrystalline surface layer by 9%.

The Impact

It is well known that there is a lager deviation in the fatigue life of machined components even under nominally identical loading conditions. Understanding and controlling fatigue life variance are essential to enhance reliability. However, few research focus on the impact of machining processes on the fatigue life variance of machined components. In this study, surface residual stress distributions of bearing rings randomly selected from a production line by super-finishing grinding, are measured by X-ray diffraction method in cutting and feed direction, and its scatter is analyzed by statistical tools. Based on the variance prediction theories, build a simplified fatigue life variance prediction model incorporating the resultant residual stresses scatter induced by machining process. Based on the Basquin equation, the model is validated by experimental data published in literature. The predicted fatigue life agrees well with the experimental average fatigue life. Statistical analysis shows that the predicted variances of fatigue life are equal to those estimated from experimental fatigue life.

Compressive Residual Stresses

In this article, we report the results of experimental studies on the impact of ball burnishing parameters on the roughness, microstructure and microhardness of the surface layer of laser-cut C45 steel parts. We also analysed the distribution of residual stresses generated in the surface layer of these parts. Laser-cut parts often require finishing to improve the quality of their surface. The tests performed in this study were aimed at assessing whether ball burnishing could be used as a finishing operation for parts of this type. Ball burnishing tests were performed on an FV-580a vertical machining centre using a mechanically controlled burnishing tool. The following parameters were varied during the ball burnishing tests: burnishing force Fn, path interval fw and the diameter of the burnishing ball dn. Ball burnishing of laser-cut C45 steel parts reduced the surface roughness parameters Sa and Sz by up to 60% in relation to the values obtained after laser cutting. Finish machining also led to the reorganization of the geometric structure of the surface, resulting in an increase in the absolute value of skewness Ssk. This was accompanied by an increment in microhardness (maximum microhardness increment was ΔHV = 95 HV0.05, and the thickness of the hardened layer was gh = 40 µm) and formation of compressive residual stresses in the surface layer.

Compressive Residual Stresses

Shot peening is a manufacturing process intended to give components the final shape and to introduce a compressive residual state of stress inside the material in order to increase fatigue life. The modeling and simulation of the residual stress field resulting from the shot peening process are proposed. The behaviour of the peened target material is supposed to be elastic plastic with bilinear characteristics. The results demonstrated the surface layer affected by compressive residual stresses is very thin and the peak is located on the surface.

A 3D finite element model is established to simulate the ultrasonic shot peening process by using a finite element software ABAQUS. The residual stress distribution of the AISI 304 stainless steel induced by ultrasonic shot peening (USP) is predicted by finite element analysis. Ultrasonic shot peening (USP) process can cause a compressive residual stress layer on the surface of the material. During the simulation, many factors, e.g., ultrasonic shot peening duration, initial residual stress, hourglass, etc., are taken into consideration for the purpose of optimizing the process. The simulation results show that ultrasonic shot peening can produce a compressive residual stress layer on the surface of the material even if there is initial residual tensile stress (250MPa) and the longer peening duration. The residual stress of simulation were compared with the experiment data which were obtained under the same ultrasonic shot peening parameters and have a good agreement with the measurement values by X-ray diffraction method. In conclusion, ultrasonic shot peening is an effective method for protecting weldments against stress corrosion cracking by introducing the compressive residual stress layer into the surface of stainless steel.

The Impact

ASCOMETAL produces alloy steels used for spring (leaf or coil), where the weak fatigue points are on the surface which is reinforced by shot-peening. So, the fatigue optimization with the steel grade needs a perfect knowledge of the material answer after shot-peening. For that reason, an analytical model has been developed where low cycle fatigue behaviour and all the usual process parameters are integrated (especially the impact position, and the covering-rate). Moreover, through a Monte-Carlos approach, the model permits to analyse the effect of scattering elements like impact speeds, ball sizes, or material fatigue behaviour. With this model several key process parameters have been analysed and validated with residual stress profiles evaluated by X-ray diffraction. So, for spring leaf, the effect of an applied load during shot-peening or shakedown during bending fatigue is described.

Abstract The paper presents results of the wear tests of chain wheels made of austempered ductile iron with various content of residual austenite. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the impact of the dynamic surface treatment (shot peening) on wear properties of surface layers of the chain wheels tested that were subjected to the action of quartz abrasive. Apart from determining the value of the abrasive wear, examinations of the magnetic phase content in the microstructure were carried out and plots of hardness of the surface layer as a function of the distance from the surface and microstructure of the materials were prepared. Based on the results, the following was found: an increase in the abrasive wear and a reduction in the hardness of the surface layer of chain wheels subjected to shot peening, as well as reduction of susceptibility to negative action of the shot for cast irons with the structure of upper ausferrite.

Residual stresses distribution after shot peening and its relaxation during uni-axial loading were investigated experimentally and theoretically on stainless steel of AISI304. An analytical model was proposed based upon continuum plasticity theory and elasto-plasticity finite element (FE) analysis, in which both relaxation of shot peening induced residual stress and variation of yield strength in the surface layer were taken into consideration. The results show that the value of yield strength in surface layer is altered after shot peening, and the relaxation of residual stress takes place at the point where the combination of applied strain and residual strain exceeds the true value of yield strength. A fundamental agreement was proved between measurements and predictions in simple tension and compression.
