Effect of Laser Peening with a Microchip Laser on Fatigue Life in Butt-Welded High-Strength Steel
Laser peening introduces compressive residual stresses on the surfaces of various materials and is effective in enhancing fatigue strength. Using a small microchip laser, with energies of 5, 10, and 15 mJ, the authors applied laser peening to the base material of an HT780 high-strength steel, and co...
