The Effects of Laser Shock Peening on the Heat Resistance Property of A356 Aluminum Alloy

Abstract:

Laser shocking peening (LSP) is a good way to improving mechanical properties. The influence of laser shock peeening on the high temperature mechanical properties were studied by investigating the thermal stability of residual compressive stress induced by LSP and high temperature tensile properties. The samples treated by LSP were placed in annealing oven and insulated for 60mins under 200°C. The high temperature tensile tests were did on the MTS machine, the temperatures were 250°C. The results showed that the compressive residual stress induced by LSP were only released 19.7%, the residual compressive stress still remained at a high level, about-125.45MPa; the results from the high temperature tensile tests shows LSP can improved the elevated temperature tensile strength, the ultimate tensile strength（UTS） of LSP was from 319.79MPa to 252.63MPa，decreased 21%, but the UTS of untreated by LSP was from 283MPa to 130.18MPa，released 46.1%.
