ABSTRACT
The goal of this work was to determine effects of shot peening (SP) coverage on the compressive residual stress magnitude, depth, and relaxation of residual stresses due to
thermal exposure, as well as fatigue strength of IN718, a nickel-base superalloy. The residual stress-depth profiles (both depth of compression and magnitude) for coupons
shot peened to different coverage levels of 82% (0.2T where T = time to achieve full area coverage) to 400% (4T) show a slight trend of increased depth of compression with
increase in coverage. Though having similar residual stress distributions, the coupons exhibited markedly different cold work distributions. While 82% (0.2T) coverage
resulted in less than five percent cold work, increasing coverage to 400% (4T) resulted in cold work as high as thirty-five percent. The heavily cold worked surfaces of the
higher coverage coupons exhibited significant relaxation of surface residual stresses, accompanied by corresponding reduction of cold work upon thermal exposure at 525°C for
10 hours. In contrast, the low cold work associated with lower SP coverage resulted in little relaxation of residual stresses under the same conditions. These observations
were consistent with findings in other alloy systems. High cycle fatigue (HCF) performance at 525°C showed little dependence on peening coverage. Even with deeper
compression achieved through low plasticity burnishing (LPB), the 525C fatigue performance of IN718 was only marginally improved. There may be other controlling elevated
temperature fatigue mechanisms, such as oxidation, operating here that do not depend on residual stresses. HCF behavior at room temperature for the LPB treatment was
significantly better than for SP treatment.
