This paper reviews the development of ultrasonic surface treatment techniques, including
ultrasonic shot peening, ultrasonic peening treatment, and ultrasonic surface rolling …

Abstract Ti–6Al–4V (TC4) alloy was treated by wet shot peening (WP) using ceramic beads
compared with dry shot peening (SP). The effects of shot peening on surface integrity …

Bolted joints are widely used in the aerospace and automotive industries due to their ease of
assembly, disassembly and design flexibility. Optimizing threaded fasteners is essential to …

Surface and near-surface areas play an important role as far as safety and dependability of
engineering components particularly when it is subjected to fatigue loading. By applying …

This study is critical for aiding the development of a hybrid treatment consisting of a tungsten-
doped diamond-like carbon coating (WC/C) deposited atop shot-peened Ti-6Al-4V surfaces …

The amplitude of a bolt load in dynamically loaded bolted flange joints depends on several
factors: the resilience of the bolt and the clamping parts, the magnitude of the working load …

The residual stress state in the subsurface is a key element of surface integrity. It is well
known to have a significant impact on a component's properties in terms of fatigue behavior …

In this research, the effect of various turn-assisted deep-cold-rolling process parameters on
the residual stress, microstructure, surface hardness, surface finish, and corrosion behavior …

Bolted joints are highly loaded components and serious issues may arise from improper
fastening and in particular from too high or too low preload. Friction at the underhead plays …
