Effects of Laser Peening with a Pulse Energy of 1.7 mJ on the Residual Stress and Fatigue Properties of A7075 Aluminum Alloy
Laser peening without coating (LPwC) using a palmtop-sized microchip laser has improved the residual stresses (RSs) and fatigue properties of A7075 aluminum alloy. Laser pulses with a wavelength of 1.06 μm and duration of 1.3 ns from a Q-switched Nd:YAG microchip laser were focused onto A7075 alumin...
