The effects of micro-shot peening on the rotating bending fatigue resistance of AISI 304 stainless steel (SS) were investigated in this study. The strain-hardening, surface roughness and induced residual stress were inspected and correlated with fatigue strength. Micro-shot peening caused intense strain-hardening, phase transformation and residual stress but was also accompanied by a minor increase in surface roughness. A nanograined structure, which was advantageous to fatigue resistance, was observed in the severe shot-peened layer. The absence of microcracks, minor increase in surface roughness, nanograined structure and induced high compressive residual stress in the shot-peened layer were responsible for the improved fatigue strength of AISI 304 SS.

The present paper established a non-linear elastic-plastic finite element method to predict the residual compressive stress distribution induced by Laser Peening (LP) in the AISI 304 stainless steel. The two dimensional FEA model considered the dynamic material properties at high strain rate (106/s) and the evaluation of loading conditions. Effects of laser power density, laser spot size, laser pulse duration, multiple LP processes and one/two-sided peening on the compressive stress field in the stainless steel were evaluated for the purpose of optimizing the process. Numerical results have a good agreement with the measurement values by X-ray diffraction method and also show that the magnitude of compressive stress induced by laser peening is greater than the tensile welding residual stress. So, laser peening is an effective method for protecting weldments against stress corrosion crack. The above results provide the basis for studying the mechanism on prevention of stress corrosion cracking in weld joint of type 304 stainless steel by laser peening.

Abstract This paper presents the effect of cutting tool, cutting speed and feed rate on the flank wear and surface roughness of austenitic stainless steel (AISI 304) during wet turning. Turning tests were designed based on the Taguchi method (L18). An orthogonal array, the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and the ANOVA were used to investigate the machinability of AISI 304 stainless steel with PVD and CVD coated tungsten carbide inserts. As a result of ANOVA, it was found that the feed rate was the most effective parameter on both flank wear and surface roughness.

 Austenitic stainless steel cannot be hardened by any form of heat treatment, in fact, quenching from 10000C merely softens them. They are usually cold worked to increase the hardness. Shot peening is a cold working process that changes micro-structure as well as residual stress in the surface layer. In the present work, the compressive residual stress and fatigue strength of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel have been evaluated at various shot peening conditions. The improvement in various mechanical properties such as hardness, damping factors and fatigue strength was noticed. Compressive residual stress induced by shot peening varies with cyclic loading due to relaxation of compressive residual stress field. The consideration of relaxed compressive residual stress field instead of original compressive residual stress field provides reliable fatigue design of components. In this paper, the exact reductions in weight and control of mechanical properties due to shot peening process are discussed.
