Abstract:
The influence of the shot peening parameters (peening pressure and exposure time) on the surface layer properties (dislocation density, residual stresses, material hardness,
and surface roughness) was evaluated on various microstructures of Ti-6A1-4V. Compared to the electrolytically polished condition shot peening generally decreased the
fatigue life tested at R = -1 under vacuum conditions. However in an aggressive environment shot peening was found to improve the fatigue life. A pronounced overpeening
effect i.e. a decrease in fatigue life with increasing peening pressure as well as exposure time was observed for those conditions of the Ti-6A1-4V alloy, which were
age-hardened and exhibited cyclic softening during the shot peening process. No overpeening effect with exposure time was observed for the un-aged condition.
