Abstract:During the process of laser shock processing (LSP), we use high power Nd:Glass laser
systems which result in significantly improve fatigue properties and stress corrosion cracking in
titanium components. An ablative coating such as black painting and aluminum foil are used to
protect the titanium component from surface melting by laser pulse, which adversely affects sample
fatigue life. Three different shock-processing configurations are considered: non-ablative exposure,
aluminum foil and confined ablation wi… Show more
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.
