본 논문은 레이저 샥 피닝(LSP) 유한요소 시뮬레이션 관련 변수들이 인코넬 alloy 600 합금의 잔류 응력에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 특히, 레이저 피닝 공정 관련 변수인 최대 압력파, 압력파 지속시간, 레이저 스팟 크기 및 다중 레이저 샷의 영향을 확인하였다. 최대 압력파 및 압력파 지속시간은 alloy 600 재료물성에 따라 특정 범위에서 최대 압축잔류응력을 생성시켜 준다. 이 때문에 LSP 공정에서 최대 압력파 및 압력파 지속시간은 중요한 선택 변수가 된다. 일정한 크기 이상의 레이저 스팟은 잔류응력에 특별한 영향을 미치지 않음을 확인하였고, 다중 레이저 샷은 압축잔류응력 크기와 소성변형 발생깊이를 동시에 증가시키지만, 증가량은 레이저 샷 횟수가 증가할수록 감소하였다.

The contour method is based on the elastic superposition principle, and relies on deformations that occur when a residually stressed part is cut along a plane. During the cut, the part is constrained at a location along the cut so that deformations are restrained as much as possible. The displacement is applied to an elastic FE model of the half. When plasticity is involved in the relaxation process, the superposition principle is no longer valid, and stress error in the resulting measurement of residual stress would be caused. Residual stress states in a laser peened Ti-6Al-4V strip were taken for the FE simulation.

Notches such as slots are typical geometric features on mechanical components that promote fatigue crack initiation. Unlike for components with open hole type notches, there are no conventional treatments to enhance fatigue behavior of components with slots. In this work we evaluate the viability of applying laser shock peening (LSP) to extend the fatigue life of 6061-T6 aluminum components with slots. The feasibility of using LSP is evaluated not only on damage free notched specimens, but also on samples with previous fatigue damage. For the LSP treatment a convergent lens was used to deliver 0.85 J and 6 ns laser pulses 1.5 mm in diameter by a Q-switch Nd: YAG laser, operating at 10 Hz with 1064 nm of wavelength. Residual stress distribution was assessed by the hole drilling method. A fatigue analysis of the notched specimens was conducted using the commercial code FE-Safe and different multiaxial fatigue criteria to predict fatigue lives of samples with and without LSP. The residual stress field produced by the LSP process was estimated by a finite element simulation of the process. A good comparison of the predicted and experimental fatigue lives was observed. The beneficial effect of LSP in extending fatigue life of notched components with and without previous damage is demonstrated.

This paper presents approximate in-depth residual stress and plastic strain profiles for laser-peened alloy 600 surface via FE analysis. In approximations, effects of the initial welding residual stress and the number of shots are quantified. Based on FE analysis results, residual stress profiles are quantified by two variables; the maximum difference in stress before and after LSP, and the depth up to which the compressive residual stress exists. Plastic strain profiles are quantified by one variable, the maximum equivalent plastic strain at the surface. The proposed profiles are validated by comparing with published LSP experimental results for welded plates. Effects of the initial welding residual stress and the number of shots on these variables are discussed. The proposed profile can be directly applied to predict the mitigation effect of LSP on PWSCC and to efficiently perform structural integrity assessment of laser peened nuclear components.
