Abstract: The marking system by laser shock wave (LSW) based on liquid crystal mask, which differs entirely from marking by laser ablation (or laser thermal effect), was established. Two-dimension (2D) nondestructive markings based on liquid crystal mask were prepared by LSW, and the distribution of residual stresses in laser-shocked region was measured and analyzed. The results showed that tensile residual stresses of sample surface were converted into compressive residual stresses by LSW, which is a nondestructive marking for aviation key parts.
