The objective of the present study was to estimate the influence of laser shock peening on the fatigue properties of AA2024-T3 specimens with a fastener hole and to investigate the possibility to heal the initial cracks in such specimens. Fatigue cracks of different lengths were introduced in the specimens with a fastener hole before applying laser shock peening. Deep compressive residual stresses, characterized by the hole drilling method, were generated into the specimens by applying laser shock peening on both sides. Subsequently, the specimens were subjected to fatigue tests. The results show that laser shock peening has a positive effect regarding the fatigue life improvement in the specimens with a fastener hole. In addition, laser shock peening leads to a healing effect on fatigue cracks. The efficiency of this effect depends on the initial crack length. The effect of laser shock peening on the fatigue life periods was determined by using resonant frequency graphs.

This paper reports the effectiveness of residual stress fields induced by laser shock peening (LSP) to recover pristine fatigue life. Scratches 50 and 150 μm deep with 5 μm root radii were introduced into samples of 2024-T351 aluminium sheet 2 mm thick using a diamond tipped tool. LSP was applied along the scratch in a band 5 mm wide. Residual stress fields induced were measured using incremental hole drilling. Compressive residual stress at the surface was-78 MPa increasing to-204 MPa at a depth of 220 μm. Fatigue tests were performed on peened, unpeened, pristine and scribed samples. Scratches reduced fatigue lives by factors up to 22 and LSP restored 74% of pristine life. Unpeened samples fractured at the scratches however peened samples did not fracture at the scratches but instead on the untreated rear face of the samples. Crack initiation still occurred at the root of the scribes on or close to the first load cycle in both peened and unpeened samples. In peened samples the crack at the root of the scribe did not progress to failure, suggesting that residual stress did not affect initiation behaviour but instead FCGR. A residual stress model is presented to predict crack behaviour in peened samples.

Improve Fatigue

In order to improve fatigue life of GH3039 superalloy, GH3039 superalloy sheets were treated by laser shock peening (LSP). The microstructure of GH3039 superalloy before and after LSP was characterized using an optical microscope, transmission electron microscope (TEM), and X-ray diffractometer. The fatigue life of the samples with and without LSP was investigated by fatigue experiments. Moreover, surface profile and residual stress were also examined. Experimental results indicated that the grains in the surface layer of the LSP sample were remarkably refined and reached the nanometer scale. The average surface roughness increased from 0.024 μm to 0.19 μm after LSP. The average fatigue life of the laser treated samples was 2.01 times larger than that of the untreated specimens. Additionally, mathematical statistical analysis confirms that LSP has a significant influence on the fatigue life of GH3039 superalloy. The improvement of fatigue life for the laser processed GH3039 superalloy was mainly attributed to compressive residual stress and grain refinement generated by LSP.

Based on the FEM code ABAQUS and MSC.Fatigue, the process of LSP before hole-drilling was adopted to study the residual stress field of aluminum alloy7050T7451 with Fastener Holes after Laser shock processing (LSP), and the fatigue life of the specimens by LSP was analyzed in this paper. The results indicate that multiple laser shock processing can improve the residual compressive stress and fatigue life to a certain degree, and with the increasing number of shot, the strengthening effect gradually decreases. The ratio of the fatigue life of specimens treated by LSP to the fatigue life of untreated specimens is gradually decreased as the mean stress σm increases, and when the σm is 67.3MPa, the fatigue life of specimens treated by LSP advances 719%, compared with that of untreated specimens.

The Fatigue tests under rotating bending conditions have been conducted on samples of a quenched and tempered Ck45 steel in two different conditions: (a) uncoated, (b) coated with an electroless Ni-Cu-P deposit, followed by a post-heat treatment (PHT) at 673 K for 1 h. Such a deposit had a thickness of approximately 10µm, with Cu and P contents of 6wt.% and 13.7wt.% respectively. The results indicate that plating the base steel with this kind of deposit leads to a reduction of the fatigue life of the material. The reduction in fatigue life has been quantified in terms of the Basquin parameters of the materials tested under different conditions. The microscopic observation of the fracture surfaces of the samples indicates that the reduction in fatigue life is associated with the nucleation of fatigue cracks on the coating-substrate interface and the deposit remains well adhered to substrate during fatigue testing since interfacial cracks have been very rarely observed. It is therefore concluded that, in the present case, the interface acts as a surface crack source or surface notch, which decreases the fatigue life of the coated material by reducing the crack nucleation stage.
