The superficial residual stress was measured by X-ray diffraction method. Fatigue experiments of specimens with and without LSP were performed, and the microstructural features of fracture of specimens were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The results indicate that the compressive residual stress can be induced into the surface of specimen, and the fatigue life of the specimen with LSP is 3.5 times as long as that of specimen without LSP. The location of fatigue crack initiation is transferred from the top surface to the sub-surface after LSP, and the fatigue striation spacing of the treated specimen during the expanding fatigue crack is narrower than that of the untreated specimen. Furthermore, the diameters of the dimples on the fatigue crack rupture zone of the specimen with LSP are relatively bigger, which is related to the serious plastic deformation in the material with LSP.展开更多

Impact angles of 15° , 30° , 60° and 90° were tested, two particle speeds （37 and 58 m/s） and two LSP irradiation conditions were used. Erosion marks were characterized by 3D profilometry and SEM analysis was conducted to identify the erosion mechanisms for each tested angle. The results showed a maximum erosive wear at low impact angles （ductile type behavior）. Erosion strength and the erosion mechanisms were not affected by the application of LSP and they were attributed to the high strain rate of the erosion phenomena. A few differences encountered on the erosion plots were explained on the basis of the surface roughness left by the LSP process. The maximum mass loss and the maximum erosion penetration happened in different impact angles （15° and 30° , respectively）. Finally, a well-defined erosion mechanism transition was observed, from cutting action at low impact angle, to crater formation at 90° of incidence.展开更多

Microstructure, hardness and residual stress of the laser shock processed surface were investigated as functions of laser processing parameters. Results show that high density of dislocations and fine deformation twins are produced in the laser shock processed surface layers in both the austenitic stainless steel and the nickel-base superalloy. Extensive strain-induced martensite was also observed in the laser shock processed zone of the austenitic steel. The hardness of the laser shock processed surface was significantly enhanced and compressive stress as high as 400 MPa was produced in the laser shock processed surface.展开更多

The microstr...Low-cycle fatigue behavior of Ni-based superalloy GH586 with laser shock processing（LSP） was investigated. The residual stress of the specimens treated with LSP was assessed by X-ray diffraction method. The microstructure and fracture morphology were characterized by using an optical microscope（OM）, a scanning electron microscope（SEM）, and a transmission electron microscope（TEM）. The results indicated that the maximum residual compressive stress was at about 1 mm from the shocking spot center, where the residual compressive stress was slightly lower. High density tangling dislocations, dislocation walls, and dislocation cells in the microstructure of the specimens treated with LSP effectively prevented fatigue cracks propagation. The fatigue life was roughly twice as long as that of the specimens without LSP. The fatigue crack initiation（FCI） in specimens treated with LSP was observed in the lateral section and the subsurface simultaneously. The fatigue striation in the fracture treated with LSP was narrower than that in the untreated specimens. Moreover, dimples with tear ridges were found in the fatigued zones of the LSP treated specimens, which would be caused by severe plastic deformation.展开更多

A brief parametric study of the effect of laser parameters on fatigue behavior and residual stress state generated in 6061-T651 alloy specimens was summarized. Residual stress of 6061-T651 alloy was analyzed both before and after laser processing with multishocks. The material remains in compressive residual stress of approximate 1mm in depth which is approximately 10 times deeper than that can be achieved with the conventional technique, and the maximal compressive residual stress at the surface of the sample is about -350MPa. Near the surface, yield strength and hardness are found to be increased by the laser shock. The ratio of fatigue crack initiation life for the laser-shocked to unshocked specimens is found to be 4.9 for specimens. The results clearly show that LSP is an effective surface treatment technique for improving the fatigue performance of aluminum alloys.展开更多

The ...The aim of this paper was to address the effect of laser shock processing (LSP) on the microstructure of ultrafine-grained commercially pure aluminium which was produced through severe cold rolling and annealing. The microstructure characteristics of ultrafine-grained commercially pure aluminium were experimentally investigated by TEM during ultra-high strain rate loading. The results show that microstructure was obviously refined due to ultra-high plastic strain induced by a single pass LSP impacts. The grain sizes decrease from 0.6 μm after severe cold rolling and annealing to 0.3 μm at the center of the laser shock wave after a single pass LSP. There is a distinct increase in the dislocation density at the edge of the laser shock wave. These experiments have guide meaning to the practical engineering applications of LSP technique.展开更多

Optical microstructure pictures show that the size of grains formed in the top surface layer is about 4-6 μm, which is obviously different from the original grains （with an average size of 20-30 μm） in the substrate in AZ31 magnesium alloy. Transmission electron microscopic observations show that the grain refinement process of AZ31 alloy by laser shock processing includes three stages. At the early stage of LSP, the lower strain and strain rate activates the three dislocation slip systems which include basal plane system, prismatic plane system and pyramidal plane system, with the deformation governed mainly by dislocation. At the intermediary stage, dislocation slip is hindered at grain boundaries and becomes more difficult to continue during LSP. Then, parallel twins appear, which divide the original coarse grains into finer twin platelets. Finally, high-density dislocation walls are formed and subdivide twins into sub-grains. Dynamic recrystallization occurs in the process of further deformation and forms recrystallized grains when strain energy reaches the value needed by recrystallization, which leads to refinement of the grains in the top surface layer.展开更多

Microscopic results show that without equal channel angular pressing （ECAP）, the LSP-treated lamellar pearlite was transferred to irregular ferrite matrix and incompletely broken cementite particles. With ECAP, LSP leads to refinements of the equiaxed ferrite grain in ultrafine-grained microduplex structure from 400 to 150 nm, and the completely spheroidized cementite particles from 150 to 100 nm. Consequentially, enhancements of mechanical properties were found in strength, microhardness and elongations of samples consisting of lamellar pearlite and ultrafine-grained microduplex structure. After LSP, a mixture of quasi-cleavage and ductile fracture was formed, different from the typical quasi-cleavage fracture from the original lamellar pearlite and the ductile fracture of the microduplex structure.展开更多

文摘TC4 titanium tungsten inert gas arc (TIG) weld beads were treated by laser shock processing (LSP) technology.After a single and multiple times LSP introduced,surface hardness,tensile mechanical properties and fatigue life of those weld joints were measured.The results showed that:compared with TC4 titanium alloy TIG joints without LSP treatment,those weld beads surface hardness on weld zone and heat affected zone are nearly uniform.The fatigue life of those TC4 TIG weld joints treated by a single time LSP process is enhanced.With the LSP times increased,TC4 titanium alloy weld beads tensile strength and yield strength are not obviously changed.The special elongation of these welding joints treated by different times LSP treatment will be influenced observably.Special elongation of those joints is decreased with the LSP treatment times increased from one to three.The welding joint special elongation was reduced to the least degree since three times LSP treatment had been introduced.

文摘The effects of laser shock processing(LSP)and warm laser shock processing(WLSP)on the microstructure of surface hardening layer and high-cycle fatigue performance at room temperature and high temperature(600°C)of IN718 alloy were investigated.It has been revealed that the grain refined hardening layer with greater residual compression stresses,higher fraction of coincidence site lattice(CSL)boundaries and dislocation densities was formed in WLSP-treated alloy than in LSP-treated alloys.Moreover,microtwins includedγ″phase/high density dislocation complex was found in the surface of WLSP-treated alloy.These characters caused the significant enhancement of the medium value fatigue strength of WLSP-treated alloy at room temperature and elevated temperature.Apparently,the microtwins includedγ″phase/high density dislocation complex formed in the surface hardening layer of LSP-treated alloy has more complicated steric structure and more stable at elevated temperature thanγ″phase/low density dislocation complex formed in LSP-treated alloy,leading to the slow recovery process.Therefore,the surface hardening layer in the WLSP-treated alloy remained more ideal strengthening effect under high-cycle fatigue at elevated temperature than that in LSP-treated alloy.This resulted in the much longer fatigue crack initiation incubation and longer high-cycle life of WLSP-treated IN718 alloy under cycling load at 600℃.This discovery provides a new cognition of fatigue resistance by WLSP treatment of precipitation strengthening superalloy.
文摘An austenitic stainless steel 1Cr18Ni9Ti and a solid solution-strengthened Ni-base superalloy GH30 were shock processed using a Q-switched pulsed Nd-glass laser. Microstructure, hardness and residual stress of the laser shock processed surface were investigated as functions of laser processing parameters. Results show that high density of dislocations and fine deformation twins are produced in the laser shock processed surface layers in both the austenitic stainless steel and the nickel-base superalloy. Extensive strain-induced martensite was also observed in the laser shock processed zone of the austenitic steel. The hardness of the laser shock processed surface was significantly enhanced and compressive stress as high as 400 MPa was produced in the laser shock processed surface.

文摘Low-cycle fatigue behavior of Ni-based superalloy GH586 with laser shock processing（LSP） was investigated. The residual stress of the specimens treated with LSP was assessed by X-ray diffraction method. The microstructure and fracture morphology were characterized by using an optical microscope（OM）, a scanning electron microscope（SEM）, and a transmission electron microscope（TEM）. The results indicated that the maximum residual compressive stress was at about 1 mm from the shocking spot center, where the residual compressive stress was slightly lower. High density tangling dislocations, dislocation walls, and dislocation cells in the microstructure of the specimens treated with LSP effectively prevented fatigue cracks propagation. The fatigue life was roughly twice as long as that of the specimens without LSP. The fatigue crack initiation（FCI） in specimens treated with LSP was observed in the lateral section and the subsurface simultaneously. The fatigue striation in the fracture treated with LSP was narrower than that in the untreated specimens. Moreover, dimples with tear ridges were found in the fatigued zones of the LSP treated specimens, which would be caused by severe plastic deformation.

文摘(γ’+β)two-phase Ni-Al is a promising high-temperature protective coating material used on Ni-base superalloys since it has good interfacial compatibility with superalloys due to the low Al content compared to single-phaseβ-NiA l.In this paper,we aim to improve the oxidation resistance,whereby Ni-34Al-0.1Dy,a(γ’+β)two-phase Ni-Al alloy,was treated by laser shock processing(LSP)and the oxidation behavior at 1150℃ was investigated.The results showed that after oxidation,Al_(2)O_(3)scale formed on the originalβphase of the untreated alloy with a small grain size(200-800 nm),while for the LSP-treated samples,the scale grown on the originalβphase was dominantly composed of larger Al_(2)O_(3)grains with a size of 2-3μm.The distinction was attributed to the promotion ofθ-Al_(2)O_(3)toα-Al_(2)O_(3)transformation induced by the LSP,because the dislocation density,as well as surface roughness,were increased during LSP treatment which can provide heterogeneous nucleation sites forα-Al_(2)O_(3).In addition,the larger-size Al_(2)O_(3)particles,derived from the direct conversion of needle-likeθ-Al_(2)O_(3)in the initial oxidation stage,could rapidly overspread the wholeβphase surface thus reducing the scale growth rate.

文摘Laser shock processing is a very new technique and an emerging modern process that generates compressive stresses much deeper into the surfaces of metals or alloys. A brief parametric study of the effect of laser parameters on fatigue behavior and residual stress state generated in 6061-T651 alloy specimens was summarized. Residual stress of 6061-T651 alloy was analyzed both before and after laser processing with multishocks. The material remains in compressive residual stress of approximate 1mm in depth which is approximately 10 times deeper than that can be achieved with the conventional technique, and the maximal compressive residual stress at the surface of the sample is about -350MPa. Near the surface, yield strength and hardness are found to be increased by the laser shock. The ratio of fatigue crack initiation life for the laser-shocked to unshocked specimens is found to be 4.9 for specimens. The results clearly show that LSP is an effective surface treatment technique for improving the fatigue performance of aluminum alloys.

文摘The aim of this paper was to address the effect of laser shock processing (LSP) on the microstructure of ultrafine-grained commercially pure aluminium which was produced through severe cold rolling and annealing. The microstructure characteristics of ultrafine-grained commercially pure aluminium were experimentally investigated by TEM during ultra-high strain rate loading. The results show that microstructure was obviously refined due to ultra-high plastic strain induced by a single pass LSP impacts. The grain sizes decrease from 0.6 μm after severe cold rolling and annealing to 0.3 μm at the center of the laser shock wave after a single pass LSP. There is a distinct increase in the dislocation density at the edge of the laser shock wave. These experiments have guide meaning to the practical engineering applications of LSP technique.

文摘In order to study the mechanism of grain refinement induced by laser shock processing （LSP） in AZ31 magnesium alloy, the specimens were processed with Nd：glass pulse laser shocking and the microstructures of LSP specimens near the surface were examined by optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Optical microstructure pictures show that the size of grains formed in the top surface layer is about 4-6 μm, which is obviously different from the original grains （with an average size of 20-30 μm） in the substrate in AZ31 magnesium alloy. Transmission electron microscopic observations show that the grain refinement process of AZ31 alloy by laser shock processing includes three stages. At the early stage of LSP, the lower strain and strain rate activates the three dislocation slip systems which include basal plane system, prismatic plane system and pyramidal plane system, with the deformation governed mainly by dislocation. At the intermediary stage, dislocation slip is hindered at grain boundaries and becomes more difficult to continue during LSP. Then, parallel twins appear, which divide the original coarse grains into finer twin platelets. Finally, high-density dislocation walls are formed and subdivide twins into sub-grains. Dynamic recrystallization occurs in the process of further deformation and forms recrystallized grains when strain energy reaches the value needed by recrystallization, which leads to refinement of the grains in the top surface layer.
文摘Multiple laser shock processing （LSP） impacts on microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated through morphological determinations and hardness testing. Microscopic results show that without equal channel angular pressing （ECAP）, the LSP-treated lamellar pearlite was transferred to irregular ferrite matrix and incompletely broken cementite particles. With ECAP, LSP leads to refinements of the equiaxed ferrite grain in ultrafine-grained microduplex structure from 400 to 150 nm, and the completely spheroidized cementite particles from 150 to 100 nm. Consequentially, enhancements of mechanical properties were found in strength, microhardness and elongations of samples consisting of lamellar pearlite and ultrafine-grained microduplex structure. After LSP, a mixture of quasi-cleavage and ductile fracture was formed, different from the typical quasi-cleavage fracture from the original lamellar pearlite and the ductile fracture of the microduplex structure.
