Laser Shock Peening
high cycle, low stress situations (HCF) in a deteriorating surface environment
erosion, strike damage, fretting and corrosion
Less cold work enables greater retention of residual compressive stress in high load and/or thermally challenging conditions
No process contaminationOriginal surface finish and topography easily maintained and controlled
Precision process and quality control
Laser peening process
An output beam, roughly 25 Joules at 18 nanoseconds from a Nd:glass laser is projected onto a work piece to induce a residual compressive stress. The area to be peened can be covered with material to act as an ablative layer and simultaneously as a thermal insulating layer, or peened directly onto the base metal which subsequently may require some form of surface removal of a few microns.
