“…Short pulses (10~30ns) and high peak power density (10 9 W/cm 2 ) laser are used to irradiate on metal surfaces, the surface coating absorbs the laser energy, and explosive and evaporation, resulting in high pressure (GPa level) plasma shock wave, which acts on the metal surface and transfers to the internal material [6] . When the peak pressure of the shock wave exceeds the dynamic yield strength of the processed materials, the strain hardening occurs on the material surface, and results in larger compressive residual stress, while some changes happens in its micro-structures, that significantly improves the material fatigue resistance, wear, stress corrosion, and etc [7][8] . Laser shock wave was used to strengthen the surface of QT800 materials in this paper, the effects of shock processing on fatigue properties of QT800 for the crankshaft was analyzed with fatigue test, that provides a theoretical basis for enhanced treatment.…”
