摘要
The influence of low energy laser peening on fatigue lives of Ti-6Al-4V was investigated. Laser peening was carried out on Ti-6Al-4V samples. Laser peened samples were characterized by residual stress analysis, surface roughness measurements, X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, nanoindentation hardness tests, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and fatigue testing. Laser peening resulted in the formation of nanocrystallites on the surface and near surface regions with associated increase in hardness and introduction of compressive residual stress. Owing to positive influence of nanostructured surface and compressive residual stress, fatigue lives of the laser peened samples were significantly increased compared to the unpeened samples.
研究低能量激光喷丸对Ti-6Al-4V合金疲劳寿命的影响。采用残余应力分析、表面粗糙度测量、X射线衍射、光学显微镜、纳米压痕硬度测试、扫描电镜和透射电镜以及疲劳测试对激光喷丸样品进行表征。结果表明,激光喷丸处理导致在合金表面及近表面区域形成纳米晶,并伴随有硬度的增加及残余压应力的产生。由于纳米结构表面的形成及残余压应力的存在而带来的有利影响,与未喷丸处理合金相比,喷丸处理合金的疲劳寿命明显得到延长。
