After shot peening, the metallographic structure of 10Ni3MnCuAl steel and the micro-structure on the surface layer are analyzed. The micro-hardness in the shot peening affected layer and the residual pressure stress are surveyed. The changes of surface quality, such as micro-hardness, metallographic structure and residual stress caused by shot peening are investigated. The result shows that shot peening can significantly improve surface quality and fatigue life of 10Ni3MnCuAl steel. The over peening effect is produced when the shot peening intensity is high, and it leads to the decrease of the fatigue life. When the optimal arc high value of shot peening is 0. 40 mm in experiments, the best surface quality is obtained and the depth of the residual stress in the precipitation-hardening layer reaches 450μm.展开更多

This method uses the idea of constant frequency pulse width modulation for designing the control circuit of peening force and peening freqneney. The peening force can be adjusted between 0 and 1 000 N and the peening frequency ranges from 0 to 25 Hz. Peening force is applied to the weld metal and the weld toe during the welding by peening head. The experiments show that the method is portable and flexible, and it can adjust the distribution state of welding residual stress, making grain refinement. When the peening force is changed to 700 N and the peening frequency to 3 Hz, both the transverse and longitudinal residual stresses will drop obviously.展开更多

The effects of the shot peened intensity on the microstructure, surface morphology, and residual stress were investigated. A tensile-tensile fatigue test was performed and the fracture mechanism was proposed. The results demonstrate that the surface roughness after wet shot peening is obviously lower than that after dry shot peening. With the increase of the shot peened intensity, the depth of the residual stress layer increases to 250 ktrn, and the maximum stress in this layer increases to -895 MPa. The fatigue strength also increases by 12.4% because of the wet shot peening treatment. The dislocation density of the surface layer is significantly enhanced after the wet shot peening with ceramic beads. The microstructure of the surface layer is obviously refined into ultra-fine grains.展开更多

The variations of the residual stress,nano-hardness and microstructure of the modified layer with depth from surface were studied using X-ray diffraction analysis,nano-indentation analysis, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy observations. The results show thatboth the compressive residual stress and hardness decrease with increasing depth, and the termination depths are 160 and 80 μm,respectively. The microstructure observation indicates that within 80 μm, the compressive residual stress and the hardness areenhanced by the co-action of the grain refinement strengthening and dislocation strengthening. Within 80–160 μm, the compressiveresidual stress mainly derives from the dislocation strengthening. The strengthened layer in Ti-6Al-4V alloy after wet peeningtreatment was quantitatively analyzed by a revised equation with respect to a relation between hardness and yield strength.展开更多

Furthermore, USPT enhanced specimens by work hardening. The microstructure of the peened zone was improved; moreover, the distribution of the precipitates and grains presented an apparent orientation.展开更多

The relation between microstructures and properties of the BPs-coated samples was discussed. The results showthat the adhesion strength and gain mass of the BPs-coated samples with isothermal oxidation at 1100℃ for 100 h are 3.3 N and0.00817 mg/cm^2, respectively, while those of the non-BPs-coated sample are 2.6 N and 0.00559 mg/cm^2, respectively. The EDSmapping analysis indicates that an obvious outward diffusion of Cr from the substrate to BPs coated samples occurs after isothermaloxidation. The BPs-coated sample shows the superior adhesion and oxidation resistance compared with non-BPs-coated samples.展开更多

文摘Submerged Abrasive Waterjet Peening(SAWJP)shows great application potential in augmenting the fatigue properties of metallic parts.Thus,the present work aims to investigate the influence of SAWJP on the Surface Integrity(SI)and Fretting Fatigue(FF)properties of Inconel 718(IN718)superalloy and illustrate the microstructural evolution,FF life improvement,and fretting wear mechanism.First,the SI of the IN718 specimen was examined following treatment via SAWJP.Results showed that the specimen subjected to SAWJP formed a total plastic deformation layer of 56μm.The maximum microhardness and Compressive Residual Stress(CRS)measured across the depth of the SAWJP-treated specimens exhibited an increase in values ranging between 522 HV and 541 HV and 1171–1380 MPa,respectively.The FF test results of the specimen before and after SAWJP treatment at ambient temperatures indicated that the FF life of the SAWJP-treated specimen surpassed that of the as-received specimen by a factor of 2.81.The examination of the FF fracture,contact surface,and crack propagation behavior revealed the crucial factors contributing to the enhanced FF resistance of the IN718 specimen,including the gradient nanostructure characterized by ultra-refined grains,substantial CRS,and elevated microhardness,which were all induced by the SAWJP treatment.

文摘The high-temperature oxidation resistance of AISI 321 stainless steel used in solar thermal power heat exchangers determines its service life.In this study,aluminizing and subsequent laser shock peening(LSP)treatments were employed to improve the high-temperature oxidation resistance of AISI 321 stainless steel at 620°C.These two treatments decreased the oxidation rate of AISI 321 steel.Specifically,the optimal oxidation resistance was observed in aluminized steel before oxidation for 144 h owing to the increased entropy of the LSP-treated specimen.After 144 h,LSP-treated steel achieved the best oxidation resistance because of the formation of a protectiveα-Al2O3film.Moreover,the large amount of subgrain boundaries formed on the aluminized layer of the LSP-treated samples could act as short-circuit paths for the outward diffusion of Al,facilitating the rapid nucleation ofα-Al2O3.Meanwhile,the aluminized layer could isolate the contact between the oxidation environment and matrix,thereby decreasing the oxidation rate.Furthermore,the minimum oxidation parabolic constant was calculated for LSP-treated steel(6.45787×10^(-14)),which was 69.18%and 36.36%that of aluminized and 321 steel,respectively,during the entire oxidation process.Therefore,the combination of aluminizing and LSP treatments can improve the high-temperature oxidation resistance of 321 stainless steel,providing a new idea for its surface treatment to achieve a long service life at high temperatures.

文摘The residual stress field induced by surface strengthening processes such as mechanical shot peening and other forms of plastic deformation does not generally exhibit a simple“monotonic”distribution trend.Some researchers have analyzed this fact from a mechanical perspective based on Hertz theory.However,the micro/nano-scale microstructural changes corresponding to the distribution of residual stress fields still appear to be lacking.In this study,we focused on a widely used material in aviation manufacturing,namely nickel-based superalloy GH4169,as our experimental material.We subjected GH4169 alloy to me-chanical strengthening treatment using a shot peening intensity of 0.25 mmA,followed by quantitative testing of micromechanical performance indicators such as microhardness and residual stress.To thoroughly investigate the relationship between micromechanical properties and microstructure changes,we utilized transmission electron microscopy(TEM)to observe and analyze shot-peened materials at different depths.Our findings revealed that the most severe microstructural distortion induced by mechanical shot peening in GH4169 alloy was likely to occur within a depth range of 25 to 75μm.This observation aligns with the actual phenomenon that the maximum microhardness and maximum residual compressive stress did not manifest on the outermost surface of the material.By presenting a detailed analysis of deformation defects such as dislocations,stacking faults,and twinning in different depths of mechan-ically strengthened layers,our study contributes to a deeper understanding and practical application of post-processing technologies based on plastic deformation.

文摘This study investigated the effects of ultrasonic shot peening(USSP)treatment at various durations on the corrosion resistance and antibacterial properties of 304 Cu-bearing stainless steel(304-Cu SS).The results showed that USSP treatment refined the surface microstructure,enhancing hardness,wear resistance,and dislocation density.With longer treatment time,grain size decreased,and martensitic phase formation was promoted,improving mechanical properties.However,extended USSP treatment induced internal stresses,negatively affecting corrosion resistance.Cu addition to 304 stainless steel resulted in large Cu-rich phases,leading to uneven elemental distribution and reduced corrosion resistance.USSP effectively fragmented these phases,promoting a uniform distribution and enhancing the formation of a dense passive film,with the 304-Cu-5 min coupon showing the best corrosion performance.Cu also significantly improved antibacterial properties,demonstrating strong activity against Eescherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus after 72 h.Overall,USSP treatment optimized both corrosion resistance and antibacterial performance,with the 5 min treatment providing the best balance.

文摘CrN coatings are also employed to protect structural materials in nuclear power plants.It should be noted that the preparation process utilizing physical vapor deposition(PVD)techniques inevitably entails certain defects.Such a phenomenon will affect the protective properties of CrN coatings.In this study,low-energy laser shock peening(LE-LSP)with varying energies was employed for the post-treatment of CrN coatings.The effects of different laser energy LE-LSP treatments on the surface morphology,crystal structure and fretting wear properties of CrN coatings were investigated.The results revealed that the surface of the CrN coatings subjected to LE-LSP underwent significant plastic deformation and displayed a regular texture structure.The surface roughness and Vickers hardness of the CrN coatings exhibit a significant increase.Under a laser energy of 150 mJ,the surface hardness exhibits a maximum increase of 2.35 times.The residual stress of CrN coatings diminishes with the augmentation of laser energy due to the formation of surface cracks.Following LE-LSP treatment,the columnar crystal structure of the CrN coating was disrupted and fragmented into fine grains due to the impact force.As the laser energy augments,the fragmented CrN grains undergo further compaction.During fretting wear,all specimens were in the gross slip regime.The wear mechanism of the CrN coating,120 and 150 mJ specimens are primarily dominated by abrasive wear,and accompanied by oxidative wear.For specimens treated with 30,60 and 90 mJ,the predominant wear mechanisms are mainly peeling and abrasive wear,and accompanied by oxidative wear.Both the wear area and wear volume initially increase and then decrease as the laser energy increases.The 150 mJ specimen exhibited the smallest wear area and wear volume of all tested specimens.The wear volume was reduced by 76.32%when compared to that of the CrN coating.This study complements the existing research on PVD/LSP composite strengthening techniques.Introduces a novel post-treatment methodology for PVD coatings.Provides certain theoretical support for subsequent PVD/LSP composite strengthening.
文摘Inconel 718 superalloy has extensive applications in a variety of industries such as the moulding,aerospace and medical due to its excellent mechanical features such as poor thermal conductivity,high strength at high temperatures and corrosion resistance.However,it is very difficult to process by traditional machining and finishing methods.Abrasive based finishing process is one of non-traditional finishing method applied to complex surfaces.Shot peening process is one of the surface treatment processes mostly applied to improve the surface strength.The superior advantages of these two processes are combined into one process.This newly developed and patented process is called as GOV process.In this study,the effects of GOV process parameters(number of cycles,steel ball size,media concentration)on the surface quality of Inconel 718 already pre-processed by wire electric discharge machining are investigated.The performance parameters are identified as surface roughness,material removal and white layer thickness.Surface finishing with the GOV process improves the surface roughness,Ra value by decreasing from 2.63μm to 0.46μm by removing micro-level chips up to 10.7 mg which is supported by SEM images.White layer formed due to nature of EDM process is completely removed from specimen surface.

文摘To investigate the improvement in the fatigue strength of magnesium alloy by peening methods,magnesium alloy AZ31 was treated by submerged laser peening(SLP),cavitation peening(CP),and shot peening(SP),and the fatigue properties were evaluated by a plane bending fatigue test.In the case of SLP,both the impact induced by laser ablation(LA)and that caused by laser cavitation(LC),which developed after LA,were used.In the present study,the fatigue life at a constant bending stress was examined to determine the suitable coverage.It was found that the fatigue strengths at N=10^(7)for the SLP,CP,and SP specimens treated by each optimum condition were 56%,18%,and 16%higher,respectively,than that of the non-peened(NP)specimen,which was 97 MPa.The key factors in the improvement of fatigue strength by peening methods were work hardening and the introduction of compressive residual stress.

文摘In order to control welding stress and distortion, a new welding with trailing peening method based on the electromagnetic hammer was developed. This method uses the idea of constant frequency pulse width modulation for designing the control circuit of peening force and peening freqneney. The peening force can be adjusted between 0 and 1 000 N and the peening frequency ranges from 0 to 25 Hz. Peening force is applied to the weld metal and the weld toe during the welding by peening head. The experiments show that the method is portable and flexible, and it can adjust the distribution state of welding residual stress, making grain refinement. When the peening force is changed to 700 N and the peening frequency to 3 Hz, both the transverse and longitudinal residual stresses will drop obviously.

文摘Ti-6Al-4V alloy was processed by wet shot peening with ceramic beads. The effects of the shot peened intensity on the microstructure, surface morphology, and residual stress were investigated. A tensile-tensile fatigue test was performed and the fracture mechanism was proposed. The results demonstrate that the surface roughness after wet shot peening is obviously lower than that after dry shot peening. With the increase of the shot peened intensity, the depth of the residual stress layer increases to 250 ktrn, and the maximum stress in this layer increases to -895 MPa. The fatigue strength also increases by 12.4% because of the wet shot peening treatment. The dislocation density of the surface layer is significantly enhanced after the wet shot peening with ceramic beads. The microstructure of the surface layer is obviously refined into ultra-fine grains.

文摘A modified surface layer was formed on Ti-6Al-4V alloy by wet peening treatment. The variations of the residual stress,nano-hardness and microstructure of the modified layer with depth from surface were studied using X-ray diffraction analysis,nano-indentation analysis, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy observations. The results show thatboth the compressive residual stress and hardness decrease with increasing depth, and the termination depths are 160 and 80 μm,respectively. The microstructure observation indicates that within 80 μm, the compressive residual stress and the hardness areenhanced by the co-action of the grain refinement strengthening and dislocation strengthening. Within 80–160 μm, the compressiveresidual stress mainly derives from the dislocation strengthening. The strengthened layer in Ti-6Al-4V alloy after wet peeningtreatment was quantitatively analyzed by a revised equation with respect to a relation between hardness and yield strength.

文摘Ultrasonic shot peening treatment （USPT） was proposed to correct welding buckling distortion. The residual stress distribution along the depth direction of the peened zone was measured by an X-ray diffractometer. The microstructure of the treated specimens was investigated by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The Vickers microhardness was measured in different areas of welded joint before USPT and along the depth direction of the weld after USPT. The experimental results indicated that the welding buckling distortion of 5A06 aluminum alloy butt joint can be essentially corrected by USPT; the average correction rate reached 90.8% in this study. Furthermore, USPT enhanced specimens by work hardening. The microstructure of the peened zone was improved; moreover, the distribution of the precipitates and grains presented an apparent orientation.

文摘YSZ/（Ni, Al） composite coatings were deposited on Inconel600 superalloy with ball peening （BP） and without （non BP）treatment using the electrophoretic deposition （EPD） technique, followed by vacuum sintering method. The structures and phaseevolution of the coatings were studied with X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersivespectrometry （EDS）. The relation between microstructures and properties of the BPs-coated samples was discussed. The results showthat the adhesion strength and gain mass of the BPs-coated samples with isothermal oxidation at 1100℃ for 100 h are 3.3 N and0.00817 mg/cm^2, respectively, while those of the non-BPs-coated sample are 2.6 N and 0.00559 mg/cm^2, respectively. The EDSmapping analysis indicates that an obvious outward diffusion of Cr from the substrate to BPs coated samples occurs after isothermaloxidation. The BPs-coated sample shows the superior adhesion and oxidation resistance compared with non-BPs-coated samples.

文摘Shot peening can improve fatigue strength of materials by creating compressive residual stress field in their surface layers,and offers a protection against crack initiation and propagation,corrosion,etc.And fatigue fracture and stress corrosion cracking of NAK80 steel parts are improved effectively.Currently there lacks in-depth research in which the beneficial effect of the residual stress may be offset by the surface damage associated with shot peening,especially in terms of the research on the effective control of shot peening intensity.In order to obtain the surface residual stress field of NAK80 steel after shot peening,the samples are shot peened by pneumatic shot peening machine with different rules.The residual stress in the precipitation-hardening layer of NAK80 steel is measured before and after a shot peening treatment by X-ray diffraction method.In order to obtain true residual stress field,integral compensation method is used to correct results.By setting up analytical model of the residual stress in the process of shot peening,the surface residual stress is calculated after shot peening,and mentioning the reason of errors occurred between calculated and experimental residual stresses,which is mainly caused by the measurement error of the shoot arc height.At the same time,micro hardness,microstructure and roughness in the precipitation-hardening layer of NAK80 steel before and after shot peening were measured and surveyed in order to obtain the relation between shot peening strength and surface quality in the precipitation-hardening layer.The results show that the surface quality of NAK80 steel is significantly improved by shot peening process.The over peening effect is produced when the shot peening intensity is too high,it is disadvantageous to improve sample＇s surface integrity,and leading to reduce the fatigue life.When arc high value of optimal shot peening is 0.40 mm,the surface quality is the best,and the depth of residual stress in the precipitation-hardening layer reaches to about 450 μm.Numerical calculation is very useful to define the process parameters when a specific residual stress profile is intended,either to quantify the benefits on a specific property like fatigue life or to help on modeling a forming process like shot peen forming.In particular,the proposed parameter optimization in the progress of shot peening and effective control of the surface texture provide new rules for the quantitative evaluations of shot peening surface modification of NAK80 steel.
