Abstract:
Residual stresses in unpeened welded joints are compared with stresses in similar joints which had been peened. Peening introduces a compressive stress-depth distribution
which is independent of the distribution which existed prior to peening. The effects of the shot-peening variables are described and the stress distribution induced by shot
peening is compared with other mechanical treatments, such as needle peening, hammer peening, roto peening, roller burnishing, grit blasting and vibratory stress relieving
and with thermal stress relieving. Discussion is centered on the effect of these treatments as stress corrosion preventives in A1--4.5Zn--2.5Mg alloy plate edges, with
reference to the effect of shot peening before, rather than after, welding.
