Laser Shock Peening Fights Fatigue in Metal Parts
Laser Shock Peening Fights Fatigue in Metal Parts
Laser shock peening is a process that adds beneficial residual stress points in materials commonly used to develop a wide range of parts and components. These residual stresses effectively increase the materials’ resistance to surface-related failures such as fatigue, fretting fatigue, and corrosion cracking.
