Ultrafine-grained and heterostructured materials are currently of high interest due to their
superior mechanical and functional properties. Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is one of …

Material degradation of metal alloys usually starts from the surface induced by tribological
systems along with extremities including elevated temperatures, irradiations, erosion …

Shot peening is often reported as being beneficial to stress corrosion cracking resistance;
however, the increased surface roughness induced by shot peening may promote localized …

In this study, effects of conventional shot peening, severe shot peening, re-shot peening and
precised grinding were performed to AISI 1050. By two-stage operations (SSP+ RSP) …

The as-built selective laser melted (SLM) austenitic stainless steel 316 L components are
characterized by presence of quality related concerns such as tensile residual stresses, poor …

A novel ultrasonic shot peening (USP) was performed on Ti-6Al-4V alloy as a pretreatment
prior to gas nitriding (GN). The samples treated by USP/GN composite processes were …

This study investigated the post-processing of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) built 316L
stainless steel components to address quality-related issues such as dangerous residual …

In this work, an innovative and flexible approach was used to fabricate Mg/Al composite
plates. Instead of using ready-made Al alloy sheets, 7075 Al powder was directly deposited …

This study investigates the micro-to nanostructural evolution, hardness, and linear
reciprocating wear resistance, using Al 2 O 3 ball as a counterpart of 316L stainless steel …

The microstructure evolution and strengthening mechanism of materials after shot peening
have always been the focus of research. In this paper, a novel coupled constitutive model …
