The mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of metal materials, such as fatigue, stress corrosion, and high-temperature oxidation, largely depend on the surface integrity of the material. The so-called surface integrity refers to the integrity of surface roughness, residual stress, microstructure, density, and morphology. A large number of aviation component failure analyses indicate that about 80% of the components are subject to fatigue failure, and the surface integrity of materials is one of the important factors affecting their fatigue performance.
Shot peening strengthening technology is a kind of mechanical cold processing method for material surface. With the help of high-speed moving projectile flow or high-energy shock wave, the material surface is elastic-plastic deformed, showing good surface integrity, so as to improve the fatigue strength, fretting fatigue resistance and Damage tolerance performance of materials. In the aviation industry, the surface integrity of aviation components directly affects their performance and service ability, especially their fatigue performance. Shot peening strengthening technology significantly improves the fatigue performance of various aviation components by changing the surface integrity of materials, and has the advantages of low cost, strong adaptability, and easy operation. It is widely used in the aviation field. At present, China mainly measures surface roughness and detects surface defects in controlling the surface quality of parts, and has not yet established a comprehensive surface integrity design and testing system. Controlling surface integrity through shot peening strengthening technology is an important means to improve the quality and reliability of aviation parts.

      Shot peening introduces residual stress field on the surface of the material, with residual compressive stress present on the side near the surface of the sprayed material. The distribution characteristic curve of residual stress on the surface of the sheet after single shot peening is shown in Figure 1. It is generally believed that residual compressive stress is an important strengthening mechanism for improving the fatigue resistance and stress corrosion resistance of engineering materials, and the magnitude of residual compressive stress and the depth of compressive stress layer have a significant impact on the fatigue strength or life of the workpiece. Therefore, how to achieve the regulation of residual stress distribution characteristics is one of the important research contents in this field.

Fig. 1 Characteristic curve of residual stress distribution along the depth of shot peening

      The residual stress distribution characteristic curve includes five main characteristic parameters: surface residual stress value, residual compressive stress depth, maximum residual compressive stress and its position, and maximum residual tensile stress. When a projectile impacts the surface of a material, it usually produces an approximate Hertz contact with the material surface, resulting in the maximum elastic stress occurring on the subsurface of the material. Therefore, the maximum residual compressive stress during shot peening is usually located on the subsurface. In some cases, the distribution characteristics of residual stress change. For example, when using low-density glass shot media for shot peening strengthening, the maximum residual compressive stress values of titanium and aluminum alloys strengthened by shot peening appear on the surface due to the small incident kinetic energy. When the shot peening strengthening process is wet shot peening, the phenomenon of maximum surface residual compressive stress value will also occur in hard alloys or titanium alloys, because the wet shot peening strength is generally relatively low (1/3-1/4 of the dry shot peening strength), and the density of the ceramic shot medium is relatively small. However, as the shot peening strength or coverage rate increases, the maximum residual compressive stress gradually shifts to the subsurface. In laser shot peening strengthening technology, the maximum residual compressive stress value usually appears on the surface, because during laser shot peening, the absorption layer on the metal surface absorbs laser energy and vaporizes to produce high-temperature and high-pressure plasma. The plasma explodes and generates shock waves that act on the material surface, without forming Hertz contact; The maximum residual compressive stress formed by high-pressure cavitation water jet peening also appears on the surface of the sprayed material

The selection of shot peening strengthening process parameters, such as shot peening intensity, shot peening time, shot medium, and shot flow rate, has a significant impact on the magnitude and distribution of residual stress values. At higher shot peening intensity, the projectile has greater kinetic energy during the incident stage, and the stress concentration of the sprayed material in the contact area is greater, resulting in a deeper deformation layer. Therefore, the maximum residual compressive stress value increases and the residual compressive stress layer deepens. However, excessive shot peening intensity may have the opposite effect, mainly due to factors such as stress relaxation and surface delamination. The effect of shot peening time is mainly limited to the saturation time, and the maximum residual stress value and stress layer depth increase with the extension of shot peening time. After reaching saturation, the values remain basically stable. The flow rate of the projectile directly affects the kinetic energy and 100% coverage time of the projectile. Under a certain shot pressure, if the flow rate of the projectile is high, the saturation time of the shot will be short, and the shot intensity will decrease, thereby affecting the magnitude and distribution of residual compressive stress. The larger the diameter of the projectile, the easier it is for shot peening to generate deeper residual compressive stress layers.

        The aviation industry has high requirements for its components, not only requiring lightweight materials, but also requiring them to withstand extreme loads in extremely harsh environments. By protecting the surface of parts from external damage and extending fatigue life, our shot peening surface treatment technology can greatly improve the overall performance of the parts. The vast majority of components used in the aviation industry, including aircraft frames, wings, engines, engine blades, blade tenons, blade turntables, landing gears, driving devices, or transmission parts (gears), all use precision shot peening technology to meet their material performance indicators.

Shot peening strengthening is the process of high-speed projectile flow spraying the surface of a material and causing plastic deformation of its surface. During the shot peening process, the bullet repeatedly strikes the surface of the material, ultimately creating a plastic deformation layer near the material surface, which is a strengthening layer with a certain depth. Reasonable introduction of the surface plastic deformation layer for shot peening strengthening can significantly improve the fatigue performance and stress corrosion resistance of the material. According to the plastic deformation layer, grain refinement within the deformation layer, and changes in metallographic structure generated during strengthening, the material can be divided into the following three types of strengthening:
1. Residual compressive stress field (stress strengthening)
2. Deformation microstructure (tissue strengthening)
3. Transformation from retained austenite to martensite (transformation strengthening)
Shot peening classification: Shot peening is often divided into three types according to its application scope:
① Shot peening strengthening (strong shot peening) ② Shot peening forming ③ Shot peening cleaning.
Shot peening is a widely used surface strengthening technology, characterized by simple process operation and significant strengthening effects. It is an effective method for improving and enhancing the fatigue and stress corrosion fracture resistance of components.
For components with the following characteristics, surface shot peening strengthening treatment should be given priority consideration.
A) Important load-bearing components that withstand alternating loads and are prone to fatigue failure
B) Important load-bearing components that are prone to stress corrosion (or hydrogen embrittlement) failure under the combined action of constant load and corrosive environment
C) Various steel forgings with tensile strength exceeding 1400MPa
D) Steel components that require electroplating with Cr, Ni, Ni+Cd, Cd+Ti, etc
E) High strength aluminum alloy components that require anodizing treatment
F) Areas with stress concentration (such as inner and outer fillets, keyways, welds, tool markings, imprint markings, and structural mutation areas)
G) The area about 30mm to the left and right of the weld seam
H) Various types of spiral compression springs
The methods for evaluating the effectiveness of shot peening include: 1. surface roughness measurement 2. residual stress measurement 3. microstructure analysis 4. microhardness testing fatigue strength test. To achieve the expected strengthening effect of shot blasting, it is necessary to strictly control its three major elements (1. Equipment 2. Media 3. Process parameters)
