Shot-peening is frequently used on various mechanical parts because it can improve the fatigue life of components by generating compressive residual stresses on the surface. This can be done by repeatedly hitting the work-piece surface with small balls and making indentations on it. In fact, finding optimal peening time among various peening parameters is the most important. Under-peening can not improve the fatigue life sufficiently while over-peening causes cracks and reduces fatigue life in contrast. In general, optimal peening time is experimentally determined by measuring arc-height using Almen-strip in accordance with SAE J442 standard. To save the time and efforts spent in carrying out experiments to find optimal peening time, this paper presents a computer simulation algorithm for the estimation of surface coverage made by impeller type shot-peening machines (PMI-0608). Surface coverage is defined as the proportion of the work-piece surface that has been indented in a given time of shot-peening. An example (standard tensile test specimen) is presented to validate the proposed method.

The fatigue characteristics of bevel gear used for differential gear of automobile was investigated in this paper. From the A-N(Almen intensity-Number of fracture)curve of bevel gear it was shown that there was a specific time that have a maximum fatigue life. Optimal peening condition was 65m/s of project velocity and 8min of project time. Fatigue life was also investigated from the S-N curve between optimal peened specimen and unpeened specimen. Another very significant point is that the crack initiation of bevel gear by shot peening was generated in the subsurface from fractography. This paper shows that shot peening process tremendously improve fatigue characteristics of bevel gear.

Purpose: There is active research that improves both reliability and fatigue life of structures which widely used in the aerospace fields of defense industry. The effects of three parameters (pressure, peening time, nozzle distance) on Almen intensity and coverage will be investigated by using the experimental and analyzed data. Methods: we employed a Box-Behnken design. Additionally, to verify the validity of the optimal condition obtained from experimental results, metallurgical analyses of the shot-peened aerospace part were conducted with respect to surface morphology, residual stress. Results: Optimal shot peening condition is determined as (distance, pressure, time) by optimizing simultaneously the two responses of intensity and coverage. At the optimal peening condition the prediction interval for Almen intensity is well within the required range. And, the validity of the condition was checked by using the real aerospace aluminum alloy plate. Conclusion: Shot peening introduces significant levels of compressive residual stress and induces improves both reliability and fatigue life of structures.

In this study, optimal shot peening process conditions were investigated for improving the cavitation erosion resistance of gray cast iron under a marine environment. Shot peening was performed with variables of injection pressure and injection time. The durability was then evaluated through cavitation erosion test which was conducted according to the modified ASTM G-32 standard. The tendency of cavitation erosion damage according to shot peening process condition was investigated through weight loss rate, surface and cross-sectional analysis of the specimen before and after the test. As a result, the shot peening process condition that could minimize cavitation erosion was when the injection pressure was the lowest and when the injection time was the shortest. This was because the flake graphite exposed on the gray cast iron surface could be easily removed under such condition. Therefore, the notch effect can be prevented by surface modification. In addition, the cavitation erosion damage mechanism of gray cast iron was discussed in detail.

동합금은 내식성이 우수하기 때문에 선박 프로펠러, 펌프 임펠러등 많은 주물재료로 사용되고 있다. 또한 해양구조물 및 대체에너지 산업의 급성장으로 수요가 증가하는 추세이다. 그러나 해수환경에 장시간 노출되어 고속 회전함에 따라 발생되는 침식 및 캐비테이션 손상 때문에 잦은 수리가 요구된다. 이러한 동합금의 내구성을 향상시키기 위해서 표면개질방법의 하나로 워터캐비테이션피닝 기술이 주목받고 있다. 이 기술은 열영향이 없고 환경친화적이며 주물재료에 특히 유용한 기술이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 주물재료인 동합금을 증류수 중에서 워터캐비테이션피닝을 다양한 시간 변수로 실시하였고, 이후 이 재료를 해수중에서 전기화학적 방법을 통해 개질된 표면의 내식성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 재료의 내구성도 향상되며, 내식성도 우수하게 나타난 조건은 2분동안 워터캐비테이션피닝을 실시한 경우였다.

Shot peening is a cold surface treatment employed to induce residual stress field in a metallic component beneficial for increasing its fatigue strength. The experimental investigation of parameters involved in shot peening process is very complex as well as costly. The most attractive alternative is the explicit dynamics finite element (FE) analysis capable of determining the shot peening process parameters subject to the selection of a proper material's constitutive model and numerical technique. In this study, Ansys / LS-Dyna software was used to simulate the impact of steel shots of various sizes on an aluminium alloy plate described with strain rate dependent elasto-plastic material model. The impacts were carried out at various incident velocities. The influence of shot velocity and size on the plastic deformation, compressive residual stress and force-time response were investigated. The results exhibited that increasing the shot velocity and size resulted in an increase in plastic deformation of the aluminium target. However, a little effect of the shot velocity and size was observed on the magnitude of target's subsurface compressive residual stress. The obtained results were close to the published ones, and the numerical models demonstrated the capability of the method to capture the pattern of residual stress and plastic deformation observed experimentally in aluminium alloys. The study can be quite helpful in determining and selecting the optimal shot peening parameters to achieve specific level of plastic deformation and compressive residual stress in the aluminium alloy parts especially compressor blades.
