摘要

The development of additive manufacturing (AM) technique has enabled unprecedented flexibility in the design and fabrication of complex metal components. However, the AM process is prone to defects like poor surface quality, high porosity, and tensile residual stress (TRS), which adversely affect the mechanical performance and service life of the fabricated components. Laser shock peening (LSP) is an innovative surface plastic strengthening technique that can effectively introduce compressive residual stresses (CRS) and refine microstructure, thereby mitigating these shortcomings. This paper first presents the principle and development of LSP and its research advancements in AM metals. It then systematically elucidates the effects of LSP in AM metals from two perspectives: the LSP post-treatment process and the AM + LSP hybrid process. Additionally, some investigations of LSP applications on specialized AM structures are introduced. Through a comprehensive review of research progress and technical challenges, research prospects are provided on theory, equipment, processes, performance evaluation, and technical standards to clarify the theoretical support and key technologies for future engineering applications.
