About this book

Laser shock processing (LSP) is a new and promising surface treatment technique for improving the fatigue durability, corrosion, wear resistance and other mechanical properties of metals and alloys. During LSP, the generated shock wave can introduce a deep compressive residual stress into the material, due to its high-pressure (GPa-TPa), ultra-fast (several tens nanoseconds), ultra-high strain-rate and high-energy. The overall properties and behavior of metal materials subjected to LSP were significantly improved because a refined surface layer was successfully obtained. Nevertheless, up to now, a clear scenery between micro-structure and macro-property of the refined surface layer, especially formation of sub-micrometer grains from coarse grains during severe plastic deformation, is still pending. Therefore, the basic studies of the underlying mechanism for grain refinement by ultra-high strain-rate presented in this book becomes more and more crucial.

Chapter 5. Visual Inspection and Control Methods of Laser Sock Processing Effectiveness
Abstract
This chapter introduces a novel visual inspection and control method to evaluate the surface qualities of Al alloy by means of three parameters, i.e., surface roughness, surface residual stress, and hollow depth, and also presents the effects of the surface qualities of LSP zones upon the fatigue life of samples and the optimum conditions of LSP.

Chapter 6. Mechanical Properties of AISI 304 SS and its Welded Joint Subjected to Laser Shock Processing
Abstract
This chapter presents the effects of a single LSP impact on the nano-hardness, elastic modulus, residual stress, and phase transformation of AISI 304 SS. Further studies of different LSP paths on the mechanical properties and fracture morphology of the laser welded AISI 304 SS joint are presented and discussed.

Chapter 7. Stress Corrosion Cracking Resistance of AISI 304 SS Subjected to Laser Shock Processing
Abstract
This chapter investigates the effects of massive LSP impacts on the SCC behavior of AISI 304 SS and highlights the distribution of surface residual stress, the SCC initiation and micro-structure on the top surface of three types of U-bend samples. The emphasis is placed on the mechanism of massive LSP impacts on the corrosion resistance of AISI 304 SS.

Chapter 8. Grain Refinement of AISI 304 SS Induced by Multiple Laser Shock Processing Impacts
Abstract
This chapter describes the micro-structural evolution and grain refinement process of AISI 304 SS subjected to multiple LSP impacts by means of cross-sectional optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy observations, and reveals the plastic strain-induced grain refinement mechanism of FCC materials with very low stacking fault energy.

Chapter 9. Electrochemical Corrosion Resistance of AISI 304 SS Weldment Treated by Laser Shock Processing
Abstract
This chapter figures out effects of LSP on electrochemical corrosion resistance of AISI 304 SS weldments after cavitation erosion. Through the electrochemical test, AISI 304 SS weldments without and with LSP impacts after cavitation erosion are studied. Influence mechanism of LSP on electrochemical corrosion resistance of AISI 304 SS weldments after cavitation erosion is also revealed.
