Láser UPM, 28040 Madrid, Spain dCentro Investigación Biomédica en Red en Bioingeniería, Biomateriales y Nanomedicina, 28029 Madrid, Spain Abstract. Laser peening has recently emerged as a useful technique to overcome detrimental effects associ- ated with other well-known surface modification processes such as shot peening or grit blasting used in the biomedical field. It is worthwhile to notice that besides the primary residual stress effect, thermally induced effects might also cause subtle surface and subsurface microstructural changes that might influence corrosion resistance and fatigue strength of structural components. In this work, plates of Ti-6Al-4V alloy of 7 mm in thick- ness were modified by laser peening without using a sacrificial outer layer. Irradiation by a Q-switched Nd-YAG laser (9.4-ns pulse length) working at the fundamental 1064-nm wavelength at 2.8 J∕pulse and with water as a confining medium was used.

As of November, the market share for Korean films in the domestic market stood at 55 percent, which indicates that the yearly market share of Korean films will be over 50 percent for the third year in a row. In the international arena as well, Korean films were invited to major international film festivals including Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Locarno, and San Sebastian and received a warm reception from critics and audiences. It is often said that the current prosperity of Korean cinema is due to the strong commitment and policies introduced by the KIM Dae-joong government in 1999 to promote Korean films.

  • Laser Peening Without Coating: Process, Effects and Applications
    LASER PEENING WITHOUT COATING: PROCESS, EFFECTS AND APPLICATIONS Y. Sano 1, N. Mukai 1, M. Obata 1 1 Toshiba Corporation, 8 Shinsugita-cho Isogo-ku Yokohama 235-8523, Japan ABSTRACT This paper reviews the current status of research, development and application on laser peening without coating (LPwC). LPwC imparts compressive residual stress on material by irradiating laser pulses under aqueous environment without any surface preparation. LPwC can be operated without restriction on absorption by water, using water-penetrable green lasers. The effect penetrates 1mm or more, much deeper than that of conventional surface treatment such as shot peening. Accelerating stress corrosion cracking (SCC) tests showed that LPwC effectively prevented the initiation of SCC in sensitized austenitic stainless steels, nickel-based alloys and their weld metals. LPwC remarkably improved high-cycle fatigue properties of steels, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys. Retardation of crack propagation due to stress corrosion and fatigue was also confirmed. LPwC has been utilized to prevent SCC in Japanese nuclear power plants (NPPs) since 1999. KEY WORDS Laser peening, Residual stress, Stress corrosion cracking, Fatigue INTRODUCTION Recent advances in laser material processing have yielded a multitude of innovative processes and applications in various fields. Laser peening without coating (LPwC) is a typical example and blazed a trail in preventive maintenance for SCC in operating nuclear power plants (NPPs), taking full advantage of the inertia-less process over mechanical treatment (Sano, 2000a). LPwC was invented about a decade ago as a surface enhancement technology to introduce compressive residual stress on materials, while exploring new applications of copper vapor lasers (Konagai, 1995).

Laser peening (LP) is a surface enhancement technique that has been applied to improve fatigue and corrosion properties of metals. The ability to use a high energy laser pulse to generate shock waves, inducing a compressive residual stress field in metallic materials, has applications in multiple fields such as turbomachinery, airframe structures, and medical appliances. In the past, researchers have investigated the effects of LP parameters experimentally and performed a limited number of simulations on simple geometries. However, monitoring the dynamic, intricate relationships of peened materials experimentally is time consuming, expensive, and challenging.

  • Laser Peening for Prevention of Fatigue Failures
    LASER PEENING FOR PREVENTION OF FATIGUE FAILURES David F. Lahrman Peter A. Gaydos LSP Technologies, Inc. United States ABSTRACT Laser peening is an innovative commercially-available surface enhancement process for increasing the fatigue life of metal components. The process produces deep residual compressive stress into treated surfaces, typically five to ten times deeper than conventional metal shot peening. These deep compressive residual stresses inhibit the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks. Laser peening has been particularly effective in increasing the resistance to fatigue crack propagation initiated from foreign object damage in titanium alloy fan and compressor blades of aircraft gas turbine engines. [1,2,3,4] However, the potential application of this process is much broader, encompassing automotive parts, orthopedic implants, tooling and dies, and others. Significant progress has been made to lower the cost and increase the throughput of the process, making it affordable for numerous applications. This paper reviews the status of laser peening technology, material property enhancements, and potential applications. KEYWORDS Laser shock peening, fatigue, life, residual stress, surface, enhancement HOW LASER PEENING WORKS Laser peening drives a high amplitude shock wave into a material surface using a high energy pulsed laser. The effect on the material being processed is achieved through the mechanical “cold working” effect produced by the shock wave, not a thermal effect from heating of the surface by the laser beam. The laser system is a high-energy, pulsed neodymium-glass laser system having a wavelength of 1.054 µm. The laser peening system produces very short laser pulses, selectable from 8 to 40 nanoseconds, with a pulse energy of up to 50 joules.
