The FE model for shot peening often assume that shots impact vertically on the engineering parts to generate compressive residual stresses. However, the shots obliquely impact on the surface in actual peening. In this work, we propose a 3D finite element (FE) model for evaluation of residual stress under angled shot peening. Using the FE model for angled multi-impact, we examine the effects of factors such as impact angle, impact pattern and the number of shots. Plastic deformation of shot is also considered. To validate the model, we then compare the FE solution with experimental result by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The proposed model will be a base of 3D multi-impact FE model with diverse impact angles.

The compressive residual stress and fatigue behavior of shot peened alloy 600 under a high-temperature environment is investigated in this study. Alloy 600 is used in the main parts of nuclear power plants, and the compressive residual stress induced by the shot peening process is considered to prevent SCC (stress corrosion cracking). To obtain practical results, the fatigue characteristics and compressive residual stress are evaluated under the actual operating temperature of a domestic nuclear power plant, as well as a high-temperature environment. The experimental results show that the peening effects are valid at a high temperature lower than approximately $538^{\circ}C$, which is the threshold temperature. The fatigue life was maintained at temperatures lower than $538^{\circ}C$, and the compressive residual stress at $538^{\circ}C$ was 68.2% of that at room temperature. The present results are expected to be used to obtain basic safety and reliability data.

Micro shockwaves are induced in laser shock peening and their effect on metal samples is presented. Laser shock peening produces maximized internal compressive stress on metal surfaces. This research evaluated the effects of micro shockwaves from laser shock peening with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser on steel samples, through the analysis of the mechanical properties of the samples. In the experiments, a piezo material was applied to measure the micro shockwaves and the hardnesses and micro tensile strengths of the samples were evaluated.

Shot-peening effects on the fatigue behavior of bearing steel were investigated under the high cyclic loading. Hourglass shape specimens were made of bearing steel(JIS-SUJ2) for rotary bending fatigue tests. Two kinds of treatments were performed : a heat treatment and a shot-peened surface treatment after the heat treatment. The fracture surfaces of specimens were classified into two types of fracture mode : the surface fracture mode induced by a surface defect and the internal fracture mode induced by a nonmetallic inclusion. Inclusion depth and shape affected considerably the fatigue life. Shot-peening treatment improved much the fatigue life of the bearing steel under low and high levels of cyclic loads. Probabilistic-stress-life (P-S-N) curves were suggested for the reliable fatigue life estimation of the improved bearing steel.

본 연구에서는 가스터빈 압축기 로터용 제작 관통볼트의 건전성 검사가 수행됐다. 육안검사, 치수, 재질, 경도 및 피닝처리 등을 검사했으며 GE 볼트와 비교해 건전성을 판단하였다. 평가 결과 제작볼트는 기준범위 이하의 피닝강도로 처리되었다. 이에 숏피닝 강도를 향상시켜 다시 제작된 수정볼트를 재검사했고 모든 항목에서 기준범위에 포함됨을 확인했다. 궁극적으로 본 연구에서 수행된 가스터빈 압축기 로터용 관통볼트의 건전성 검사가 유효함을 확인하였다.

As the industrial society develops rapidly, the weight reduction and high strength are gradually demanded. In case of the welded joint for the rolling stock which receives the repeated load, the fracture can be easily occurred. However, the durability and fatigue characteristics can be improved if the shot peening technique is applied. The optimal peening process should be applied to the metal surface because the over peening can lower the durability of parts. Thus, the fatigue characteristics and Fractography of welded A6061-T6 alloy for a rolling stock were studied in the paper. The optimal peening condition and Fractography were examined. The experimental result show that over peening can lower fatigue life caused by micro crack, fold and incrustation. The fatigue life of welded A6061-T6 was tremendously improved.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of shot peening angle on residual stress distribution. From the residual stress analysis of perpendicular shot peening, it could be known that the residual stress in the case of high velocity is larger than low velocity, but the amount of shot size has little effect on the magnitude of compressive residual stress. The centroidal residual stress is not greatly affected by the inclined shot peening but mainly related to the unstable conditions of surface residual stress field. Therefore, this tendency may lead to reduce fatigue life of treated material.

Mach peening treatment is one of the various kinds of techniques to improve the fatigue properties. The mach peening process gives high-level work hardening and compressive residual stress near the surface layer, improving the fatigue strength. In addition, this treatment reduces slip bands that initiate the fatigue cracks near the surface. During impingement, a plastic indentation surrounded by a plastic zone is formed. Mach peening treatment characteristic is less energy consumption and is an environmental friendly processing methods that is not accompanied by pollution. It is machining process that can prevent fatigue fracture beforehand in structure using already as well as process of production. The test results showed that fatigue crack propagation delay appeared by drilling type 43%, mach peening type 110%.

The shot peening process is most often used to improve fatigue properties of metal parts. The single most critical parameter of the shot peening process is the shot ball itself. Without the correct quality media, all other shut peening parameters are extraneous and the desired fatigue improvement and consistency of improvement will not be achieved. Shot peening involves modifications of the surface and subsurface condition of a material that can be described by the change of the residual stresses, the hardness, and the surface roughness. This Paper Presents the shot peening to optimize the shot ball parameters. The effect of shot peening parameter on the surface roughness, surface hardness and residual stress are investigated.

A numerical analysis has been performed through implicit dynamic finite element analysis using the commercial package, ABAQUS in order to investigate effect of laser peening on welding residual stress mitigation of dissimilar metal welds in a safety injection nozzle of integral reactor. The implicit dynamic finite element analysis are compared with the previous experimental results. By comparison, it is identified that the implicit dynamic finite element analysis is valid for residual stress mitigation via laser peening. Implicit static finite element residual stress analysis has been performed for the dissimilar metal welds subject to inner repair welding. The analysis results represent that both axial and hoop residual stresses are tensile on inner surface of safety injection nozzle due to inner repair welding. Also Parametric study has performed to investigate effect of laser peening variables such as maximum impact pressure, duration time of pressure, spot diameter and peening direction on the welding residual stress mitigation. As a result, it is found that laser peening has the preventive maintenance effect to mitigate mainly residual stresses of region near inner surface.
