Shot Peen Surface Repair: The Impact of Residual StressF-0080-2024-12275/7/2024
Shot peened components present a challenge for the structural analyst when nicks, scratches and gouges are discovered. A common repair scheme calls for blending away of the defect with an appropriate grit abrasive. Though the blending operation removes the defect, it also takes away a portion the beneficial compressive layer as well as the cold-worked material. Large repair facilities may have touch-up shot peen capability but technicians in a field repair setting typically do not. If the shot peen cannot be restored, the structural analyst must have a method to quantify the effect on fatigue life of the repaired part. The purpose of this technical paper is to substantiate analytical techniques for evaluating the fatigue life of a shot peened part after a blend operation. In addition to practical methods to estimate the magnitude of the residual stresses, a numerical method is introduced using finite element modeling of shot peen impacts with non-linear finite element code and validation by a simulated Almen strip.

Study on Effect of Laser Peening on Inconel 718 Produced by DMLS Technique *CSP Meta Testing 2*2019-28-014610/11/2019
In Additive manufacturing, Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is a rapid manufacturing technique used for manufacturing of functional component. Finely powered metal is melted by using high-energy fiber laser, by Island principle strategy that produces mechanically and thermally stable metallic component with reduced stresses, thermal gradients and at high precision. Inconel is an austenitic chromium nickel-based superalloy often used in the applications which require high strength and temperature resistant. It can retain its properties at high temperature. An attempt is made to examine the effect of laser shot peening (LSP) on DMLS Inconel 718 sample. Microstructure shows elliptical shaped structure and formation of new grain boundaries. The surface roughness of the material has been increased due to the effect of laser shock pulse and ablative nature. Macro hardness increased to 13% on the surface. Depth wise microhardness was investigated, found to be 17% increase on the sub-layer of the material due to the effect of a hardened matrix formed by precipitation hardening and grain size refinement attributed by laser shock peening. SEM analysis shows larger grains are being refined into smaller grains. The residual stress analysis result shows compressive residual stress values have increased.

Experimental Fatigue Life Quantification of the Effect of Blending Surface Damage on Shot-Peened Aluminum SpecimensF-0073-2017-121705/9/2017
ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of an experimental test program aimed at the investigation of the effect on fatigue life of blending surface damage on shot-peened parts. The test program was performed on shot-peened aluminum specimens where a surface damage was introduced on the specimen by machining a notch after the shot-peening operation. This notched area was then blended to a smooth surface before performing a four point bending fatigue test. The results showed little detrimental effect of the blending operation and, in some cases, improvement on the fatigue life of the specimen compared to a baseline shot-peened and undamaged specimen. These results were investigated with fractography, residual stress measurement using X-ray diffraction and a Discrete Element Model (DEM) - Finite Element Model (FEM) to simulate the blending and assess the redistribution of the residual stresses in the specimens.

Method to Assess the Effects of a Flaw with Residual Stress for Rotorcraft Metallic StructuresF-0073-2017-121715/9/2017
ABSTRACT Accounting for effects of damage on the fatigue strength of metallic principal structural elements (PSE) is a requirement for fatigue tolerance evaluation of transport category rotorcraft. Parallel to the current structural test approach for showing regulatory compliance, an analysis method is sought. However, developing and executing an analytical compliance methodology has many challenges. One example is the stress state at the root of a flaw, and how that stress state interferes with the residual stress induced by specific processes such as shot peening. This paper presents an analysis method to determine the stress state at the root of a flaw with the presence of residual stresses. The method can quantify the effect of the residual stress on various flaw shapes and sizes, to avoid overly conservative assumptions in certification analysis.

Convection from a Simulated NACA 0012 Airfoil with Realistic Ice Accretion Roughness Variations2015-01-20976/15/2015
Changes in convection coefficient caused by the changes in surface roughness characteristics along an iced NACA 0012 airfoil were investigated in the 61-cm by 61-cm (24 in. by 24 in.) Baylor Subsonic Wind Tunnel using a 91.4-cm (36-in.) long heated aerodynamic test plate and infrared thermometry. A foam insert was constructed and installed on the wind tunnel ceiling to create flow acceleration along the test plate replicating the scaled flow acceleration the along the leading 17.1% (3.6 in.) of a 53.3-cm (21-in.) NACA 0012 airfoil. Two sets of rough surface panels were constructed for the study, and each surface used the same basic random droplet pattern created using the Lagrangian droplet simulator of Tecson and McClain (2013). For the first surface, the roughness pattern was replicated with the same geometry over the plate following a smooth-to-rough transition location noted in historical literature for the case being replicated. For the second surface, the heights of the roughness elements were scaled along the streamwise direction to match the roughness variations measured in the Icing Research Tunnel at NASA Glenn Research Center using laser scanning for an unswept 53.3-cm (21-in.) NACA 0012 airfoil exposed to a supercooled large droplet icing condition. The measured convective enhancements are comparable to historical measurements of convection from airfoils with simulated ice roughness.

Study of Impact of Shot Size Ratio in the Process of Shot Peening on Fatigue Life of Suspension Coil Spring2014-01-09744/1/2014
Hardened steel is the majorly used raw material for automotive components. In spite of its abundance, its application is limited due to low fatigue life in dynamic loading. Shot peening is one of the identified processes to improve the fatigue life of the ductile steel by inducing the work hardening & surface improvement. The process of shot peening involves the bombardment of shots on the component surface. As the process & technique, the shot size selection plays very important role in the fatigue life improvement as it alters the results substantially. Also during the process, shot size decreases due to the normal wear of the shots after hitting the component surface. As a result, there is always a ratio of various sizes of the shots involved in the process. Therefore it becomes imperative to control the shot size ratio for obtaining the required work hardening & possible fatigue life improvement. This paper explains the effects of shot size ratio on the durability life of a component & the process of shot size ratio selection.

The Digital Image Correlation Technique Applied to Hole Drilling Residual Stress Measurement2014-01-08254/1/2014
The residual stresses found in components are mainly due to thermal, mechanical and metallurgical changes of material. The manufacturing processes such as fabrication, assembly, welding, rolling, heat treatment, shot peening etc. generate residual stresses in material. The influence of residual stress can be beneficial or detrimental depending on nature and distribution of the residual stress in material. In general, the compressive residual stress can increase the fatigue life of material because it provides greater resistance for crack initiation and propagation. A significant number of improvements for residual stress measurement techniques have occurred in last few decades. The most popular technique of residual stress measurement is based on the principle of strain gage rosette and hole drilling (ASTM E837-01, destructive). Although this technique is effective for some applications, strain gages provide the localized or averaged data and cannot capture the peak or high resolution data when this technique is applied on high strain gradient areas. The measured strains are also highly influenced by the position of strain gages around the drilled hole. The improved measurement technique of 3D-Digital Speckle Pattern Interferometry (DSPI) with hole drilling can capture the full-field, high resolution and high accuracy in-plan and out-of-plan deformation data. However, DSPI is easily affected by environmental noises and it cannot measure in-plane and out-of-plane deformation simultaneously. The needs of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) techniques from industry have been increasing, especially in micro- and nano-scale mechanical testing applications mainly due to its relative easy implementation and utilization. Although DIC has a lower sensitivity than DSPI, it is more robust on spot measurements. Full field contour, displacement and strain data of specimens in any shape can be easily evaluated by DIC. This paper presents a new comprehensive residual stress measurement technique using 3D-DIC and hole drilling mechanism. In this, the residual stress measurement is performed in a full-field and no contact approach.

Decarburization Effects on Fatigue Behavior of Leaf Spring Material2013-01-03924/8/2013
Decarburization occurs on heat treated components. At leaf spring manufacturers, the occurrence of decarburization, which has a negative impact on fatigue, starts at hot rolled leaf spring steel raw materials' production process. The decarburization rate of the raw material, which is taken through a heat treatment, increases during the leaf spring manufacturing process. Through metallographic analyses and experimental tests, this study manifests how leaf spring's resistance to fatigue is affected by the correlation of ferrite structure occurred by decarburization on heat treated leaf springs, the surface hardness, and the permanent surface tension to be occurred during the shot peening process. This study conveys the techniques that can be applied to obtain low decarburization in leaf spring manufacturing, and the improvements achieved through optimization of high temperature treatment times of materials through use of thermographic survey at heat treatment furnaces.

Material Microcrack Failure Effects Based on Residual Stress Evaluations2012-01-01874/16/2012
The leaf spring manufacturer must supply high quality raw material at required strength for ensuring endurance rig tests. It's very important to maintain both inside and surface cleanliness of raw material. This study presents micro crack effects on material surface by evaluating residual stress values. Residual stress values on leaf springs are measured with X-ray diffractometer and different residual stress values are classified on the same raw material batch which have also the same material failures. Finally, micro cracks are measured in metrics. Micro crack standardization is performed considering the residual stress values and rig tests. The outputs in metrics which correlated with endurance rig tests can be taken as reference by the manufacturers of leaf spring and original equipment manufacturers.

Surface TextureJ448_201108 (Historical)8/4/2011
This SAE Standard is concerned with the geometrical irregularities of surfaces of solid materials. It establishes definite classifications for various degrees of roughness and waviness and for several varieties of lay. It also provides a set of symbols for use on drawings, and in specifications, reports, and the like. The ranges for roughness and waviness are divided into a number of steps, and the general types of lay are established by type characteristics. This standard does not define what degrees of surface roughness and waviness or what type of lay are suitable for any specific purpose. It does not specify the means by which any degree of such irregularities may be obtained or produced. Neither is it concerned with the other surface qualities such as luster, appearance, color, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, hardness, microstructure, and absorption characteristics any of which may be governing considerations in specific applications. Surfaces, in general, are very complex in character. Although the height, width, length, shape, and direction of surface irregularities may all be of practical importance in specific applications, this standard deals only with their height, width, and direction.

Surface Texture ControlJ449_201108 (Current)8/4/2011
SAE J448, Surface Texture, has been set up for precision reference specimens using a controlled surface profile to obtain reproducible roughness values. These specimens are for instrument calibration. Appropriate symbols for roughness, waviness, and lay have also been standardized (ASA B46.1-1962 and SAE J448). For production control, especially from one geographical location to another, means are required to facilitate the inspection of surface characteristics called for by specifications which include not only roughness but profile waviness and lay. In order to integrate the requirements of the designer with the actual production of surfaces, a second grade of control standards must be adopted which will be functional in nature for the specific product being manufactured. These control standards may be Calibrated Pilot Specimens (actual parts with satisfactory texture) or Roughness Comparison Specimens (ASA B46.1-1962). This SAE Recommended Practice describes the usage of these control standards.

Definitions for Macrostrain and MicrostrainJ932_201108 (Current)8/4/2011
In the analysis and measurement of residual stresses of materials, it has been noted that there are frequently differences in interpretation of the terms "macrostrain" and "microstrain." To assist communication among research personnel in this area, definitions for these two terms are suggested by the Fatigue Design and Evaluation Committee of SAE. Since "macrostress" is commonly computed from "macrostrain" in residual stress analysis, to be consistent, the definitions given are for "macrostrain" and "microstrain."

Definition for Particle SizeJ391_201106 (Current)6/1/2011
"Effective particle or domain size" is a phrase used in X-ray diffraction literature to describe the size of the coherent regions within a material which are diffracting. Coherency in this sense means diffracting as a unit. Small particle size causes X-ray line broadening and as such can be measured. It has been shown related to substructure as observed in transmission electron microscopy. Particle size is affected by hardening, cold working, and fatigue; conversely, there is increasing evidence that particle size, per se, affects both static and dynamic strength.

As a result of this fiery exhaust, the turbine spins and then forces the air through the back of the engine, and the jet moves forward. While extremely hot air assists in propelling a plane, it can also take a toll on the turbine blades and propeller hubs.
Stress Measurement Techniques for Quantification of Stresses using X Ray Diffraction2011-26-00561/19/2011
Accurate quantification of residual stresses is critical to predict expected fatigue life of the component. Quantification of residual stresses by X ray diffraction method offers substantial accuracy in results as compared to other methods of stress measurements. Depending on component processing and geometry, various stress measurement techniques are used to analyze stress patterns induced by these processing. This paper describes some of the stress measurement techniques by results obtained on two compressor valve (reed) samples which are undergone different processing. First reed sample is analyzed after blanking operation which is expected to give low compressive or tensile stresses whereas second reed sample is analyzed after tumbling operation which is done to get high compressive stresses. Results of analysis showed high compressive residual stresses with less stress variation on tumbled reed sample as compared to blanked reed sample, indicating more favourable distribution of compressive residual stresses after tumbling process.

Procedures for Using Standard Shot Peening Almen StripJ443_201006 (Historical)6/16/2010
This SAE Recommended Practice provides uniform procedures for using the standard shot peening Almen strips reported in SAE J442. Standard Almen strips are used to establish saturation, determine intensity, monitor repeatability of the shot peening machine operations, and can be used to predict a desired result on a part. It is recommended that the standard Almen strip A be used for intensities that produce arc heights of 0.10 mm A (0.004 in A) to 0.60 mm A (0.024 in A). For intensities below 0.10 mm A (0.004 in A), the standard N strip is recommended, and for intensities above 0.60 mm A (0.024 in A), the standard C strip is recommended. Use of SAE 2597 Computer Generated Shot Peening Saturation Curves is voluntary, existing shot peening processes that do not take advantage of computer generated saturation curves need not be changed to meet the requirements listed herein. The process of shot peening, in common with many other processes, cannot at present be adequately controlled by nondestructive inspection of the peened parts, therefore, it is necessary to control the process itself to achieve consistent, reliable results.
