This study reviews the current status of the understanding and development of laser shock peening(LSP) on various metals. The influence of processing parameters on residual stresses, microstructure and properties are discussed. Special emphasis is placed on analyzing their underlying interrelationship between the LSP induced modifications. Finally, recommendations for further study are listed. Results indicate that the combination of uniquely flexible process and excellent performance makes the laser shock peening an attractive candidate for surface optimization applications.
The core-shell structure precursor powder was fabricated by coat-mix process in different fabrication conditions with various aging pH value. The porous silicon carbide ceramics were prepared through molding, carbonization, and sintering in argon atmosphere and vacuum, respectively. Morphology, physical phase, weight loss rate, density, porosity, bending strength and thermal shock resistance of porous silicon carbide ceramic samples were analyzed and the results show that the aging pH values of ceramic samples sintered in both of atmospheres have the consistent influence on the performance of the samples. The ceramic samples sintered in vacuum have a better bending strength and porosity, while ceramic samples sintered in Ar atmosphere have a better purity and toughness. When the pH value of aging process ranges from 3 to 5, the porous SiC ceramic samples sintered in Ar atmosphere have a stable thermal expansion coefficient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
