摘要

This study investigates and compares the effects of mechanical shot peening (MSP) and mechanical shot peening + laser shot peening (MSP + LSP) on residual stress, microstructure, fatigue behavior of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. MSP were applied with 0.36 mmA and range of coverage 100%, LSP were applied with spot diameter 2 mm, the laser pulse was 23 ns, and the spot overlapping rate was 50%, and a wide range of the laser energy (1-7 J). The surface roughness, hardness, and residual stress measurements, EBSD test, fatigue life test and fatigue section SEM test were performed. The results show that compared with single MSP, MSP + LSP significantly improves the surface hardness (maximum value: 131.25 HV), the grain refinement degree(minimum average grain size: 15.06 μm), the value of residual compressive stress, the thickness of residual compressive stress layer(maximum value: 500 μm), and the fatigue life of the samples. When the laser energy tends to 7 J, the strengthening of the sample tends to saturation, and the fatigue life increases and tends to stabilize. Compared with the no-shot peening (NSP) sample, the fatigue cycle life of MSP sample increased by 106.63%, the fatigue cycle life of MSP + LSP(7 J) sample increased by 62.66% than the MSP sample. MSP + LSP significantly strengthen the samples and improve the fatigue life of the samples, and efficiently prevent the fatigue failure of the samples.
