Abstract: Shot peening process of inner surface of machine parts in which rebound shots collide with the inner surface was investigated. The jig used for rebound shot peening has the surface with a slope to the inner surface of machine parts, and the collision direction of shots was vertical to the inner surface. In this process, a compressed air type shot peening machine was employed. The influence of processing conditions was evaluated by the distributions of hardness, residual stress and surface roughness in the test pieces of pipes and coiled springs. The effect of shot peening increases with the increase of shots collision energy. A stress peening process for inner surface of coiled springs using rebound shots was also performed. The coiled spring was provided higher compressive residual stresses. The results of a fatigue test showed that the fatigue life of the spring was improved. The compressive residual stress reduces the tensile stress of coiled spring. It was found that the present process was suitable for improving the inner surface of machine parts.

Abstract: Tensile test at loading velocities up to 10 m·s_-1 (strain rate up to 3.2x10₂ s_-1) was carried out forr SiCp/AC4CH composite and AC4CH alloy. The microstructure of the composite before and after tensile deformation was carefully examined with both optical microscope and SEM. The experimental results demonstrated that the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength (YS) increase with increasing loading velocity up to 10 m·s_-1. Comparing with AC4CH alloy, the fracture elongation of the composite is sensitivity with the increasing strain rate. The YS of both the composite and AC4CH alloy shows more sensitive than that of the UTS with the increasing strain rate, especially in the range of strain rate higher than 10₂ s_-1.
