The effect of shot peening on the microstructure and properties of a near-alpha titanium alloy following high temperature exposure

The Hydrogen Corrosion of Uranium: Identification of Underlying Causes and Proposed Mitigation Strategies

“…Thomas and co-workers, in their study of shot-peened Ti alloy (IMI-834), attributed the proliferation of dislocation structures to relief of plastic strain in the vicinity of twin boundaries, which themselves represent a favored mode of strain accommodation at room temperature. 112 The SEM observations of Siekhaus and coworkers would seem to indicate that the copresence of corrosion-promoting twins with corrosion-retarding dislocations does not entirely cancel out the beneficial effects of the latter.…”

Effect of surface mechanical attrition treatment on corrosion resistance of commercial pure titanium

“…Thomas et al [42,43] has shown using SIMS how oxygen increases in shot-peened samples compared with non-SP.…”

“…It is believed that grain refinement supplies a high density of nucleation sites for passive film formation [41,42] , which assists in the formation of a dense passive layer and a reduction in corrosion rate. The improved corrosion resistance behavior of the SMAT sample can be attributed to the rapid formation of a passive film on the grain refinement surface, which improves the chemical stability of the alloy by decreasing the diffusion of corrosive ions and the activity of charge carriers at the interface between solution and substrate [23,25,44,45] .…”

Surface topography evolution of Ni-based single crystal superalloy under laser shock: Formation of the nano-scale surface reliefs

“…Surface strengthening treatment is a feasible and effective method achieving this goal and it can be carried out through many kinds of technology, such as shot peening [1], cold rolling [2], ultrasonic peening [3], and water-jet peening [4]. As compared with other processes in terms of performance improvement, laser shock peening (LSP) is a new-developed technique.…”
