“…SP is a well-known mechanical surface treatment method to improve the fatigue life of materials used in various engineering applications (e.g., automotive, aerospace, and biomedical applications) [1,24,25,[35][36][37][38][39][40]. More specifically, it is an enticing process for enhancing mechanical properties (i.e., hardness, roughness, residual stress, σ y [1,6,22,23,[41][42][43]), corrosion resistance [34,35,42,44,45], electrical conductivity [14], wear resistance [24], and biological properties [6,46,47] of engineering alloys.…”
