Shot peening is a well known process applied to components in order to improve their
fatigue resistance. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in including the …

Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), a type of additive manufacturing (AM) process, is
currently used for the direct fabrication of powder-based functional metallic objects. The …

A detailed analysis has been conducted of Ti–6Al–4V processed by metallic shot peening
and laser shock peening. Analysis by incremental hole drilling, electron backscattered …

The surface integrity of components treated by shot peening is determined by many
influencing factors, which are generally divided into shot peening process parameter …

The shot peening (SP) post-processing was applied under different regimes to improve the
surface characteristics of the nickel-based Inconel 718 alloy parts printed by a laser powder …

The effects of massive laser peening (LP) impacts on surface residual stress, micro-
structure, and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behaviour of U-bend samples were …

Wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) of Grade 91 steel (P91) is demonstrated for the first
time. This alloy has been widely used in pressure vessel components of thermal and nuclear …

The synergetic effect of shot peening (SP) and laser shot peening (LSP) on the fatigue
behavior of a medium carbon steel was investigated. A fatigue life transition was observed in …

Fatigue performance of Inconel 718 (IN718) parts built using laser powder bed fusion (L-
PBF) is often poorer than that of the cast and wrought alloy parts. This is because of …
