Laser peeningLaser peening is the process of hardening or peening metal using a powerful laser. Laser peening can impart a layer of residual compressive stress on a surface that is four times deeper than that attainable from conventional shot peening treatments."[1] Laser peening is often used to improve the fatigue resistance of highly stressed critical turbine engine components, and the laser (or component) is typically manipulated by an industrial robot. Additional recommended knowledgePrototype laser peening machines were developed in the 1970s, but they and subsequent versions over the past two decades were not cost effective because the lasers lacked the high repetition rate required for treating parts rapidly.[1] See alsoReferences
