Fatigue Property Test and Numerical Simulation Analysis of 2524 Aluminum Alloy by Laser Shock Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Effects of laser shock peening on the fatigue properties of 2524 aluminum alloy were investigated by laser shock test, residual stress test and fatigue crack growth test respectively. The results show that the maximum residual stress is -220MPa at a distance of 1.1mm from the spot center after LSP (laser energy of 6.26J). The distribution of residual stress was simulated by Abaqus software, and the numerical simulation results were in good agreement with the experimental results. Compared with the untreated specimens, the fatigue life of the shocked specimens was increased by 32%. Fatigue fracture morphologies of the final rupture zone also show that more dimples of significantly larger depth and size occur. The fatigue life of 2524 aluminum alloy can be effectively extended by laser shock process (LSP).
