“…Many researchers have experimentally proved that laser-assisted peening process is superior in obtaining properties like increased wear resistance [ 21 , 24 , 26 , 31 ], improved hardness [ 21 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 30 ], increased fatigue life [ 23 , 26 ], enhanced corrosion resistance [ 20 , 22 , 32 ], increased yield strength [ 23 , 27 , 30 ], improved surface roughness [ 20 , 24 , 26 , 31 ], and refined microstructure [ 25 , 27 , 28 ] in metals and alloys. Researchers demonstrated many materials that are successfully peened using LSP techniques including, but not limited to aluminum alloys [ 21 , 23 , 24 ], different steel grades [ 20 , 22 , 27 , 32 ], titanium alloys [ 16 , 17 , 25 ], magnesium alloys [ 28 ], ceramics [ 29 ], super alloys [ 30 ], and brass [ 31 ]. Recently, LSP techniques have been widely applied as a method for post-processing of welds [ 105 ] and on additively manufactured (AM) components [ 106 ].…”
