Aços inoxidáveis são materiais usados em aplicações específicas onde uma boa resistência à corrosão, boa resistência à oxidação e boa resistência mecânica são requeridas. O processo de shot peening tem sido utilizado para melhorar as propriedades mecânicas de superfícies metálicas. Além disso, o processo de shot peening pode ter influência no comportamento eletroquímico do material, dependendo dos parâmetros de processos utilizados na aplicação do mesmo. Shot peening é um processo aplicado para acrescentar tensões residuais compressivas em superfícies metálicas com o objetivo de melhorar a resistência à fadiga, a resistência à corrosão sob tensão, e desgaste abrasivo. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o efeito do processo de shot peening na morfologia da superfície, na resistência à corrosão e na resistência à oxidação do aço inoxidável ferrítico AISI 430. Na realização deste estudo foi definida a utilização de três condições de amostras, sendo a primeira amostra com a superfície no estado como recebido, a segunda amostra com superfície lixada e a terceira a amostra tratada com o processo de shot peening. Para avaliar influência do processo de shot peening na morfologia da superfície das amostras, foram realizados os ensaios de microscopia óptica, microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), ensaio de perfilometria e avaliação da molhabilidade. Para avaliar a influência do shot peening no comportamento eletroquímico da superfície das amostras foram realizados, avaliação do potencial de circuito aberto (OCP), polarização potenciodinâmica e espectroscopia de impedância eletroquímica (EIE). Ensaio de oxidação por ganho de massa em alta temperatura foi realizado para analisar a influência do shot peening na resistência a oxidação e a análise de difração de raio-X foi realizada para avaliar as fases presentes. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que as amostras de aço inox AISI430 tratadas com shot peening apresentaram um comportamento mais hidrofílico comparado com as amostras na condição como recebido e lixada. Além disso, o processo de shot peening, com os parâmetros de processo de aplicação usados neste estudo, alterou significativamente a morfologia da superfície reduzindo à resistência a oxidação e a resistência à corrosão das amostras de aço inoxidável AISI 430. / Stainless steels are used in specific applications where corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and a high mechanical resistance are required. The shot peening process has been used in order to improve the metallic surfaces mechanical properties. Thus, the shot peening process might have influence in the electrochemical behavior of the material, depending of the defined process parameters. Shot peening is a process applied in order to add residual compression stresses in metallic surfaces with the intent of improving the fatigue life, stress corrosion cracking, and galling. The proposal of this study is to evaluate the effect of the shot peening process in the morphology of the surface, corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of a ferritic stainless steel AISI430. In order to perform this study it was established the use of three samples conditions, being the first one with the surface in the original state condition (as received), the second one with the sanded surface and the third one treated through shot peening. In order to evaluate the influence of the shot peening in the morphology of surface of samples, there were submitted to optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), profilometry test and wettability test. In order to evaluate the effect of the shot peening process in the electrochemical behavior of the surface of samples, the tests such as open circuit potential monitoring (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were carried out. Oxidation test was carried out to analyze the influence of the shot peening in the oxidation resistance and the X-ray diffraction (XRD) was performed to evaluate the presented phases. The obtained results showed that the samples of stainless steel AISI 430 treated with shot peening had a more hydrophilic behavior compared with the samples in the original state condition and sanded surface. Beyond that, the shot peening process with the used process parameters of application in this study changed significantly the morphology of the surface reducing the oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance of the samples of stainless steel AISI430.

The aim in this dissertation was to improve our understanding of the effectiveness of shot peening in prolonging fatigue life, of 7075-T6 Aluminium Alloy round bar, taking into consideration surface residual stress, microstructural and micro-hardness parameters. Three point bending, high stress, moderately low cycle, fatigue tests were conducted to study the effects of shot peening and associated surface residual compressive stresses on fatigue life. The influence of shot peening on the microstructure was explored, including the application of mechanical small plastic straining and surface skimming, to vary the surface residual compressive stresses and induce strain hardening. Tests were performed to measure residual stress-depth distribution, plastic straining, micro-hardness, and the microstructure analysed on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) fractographs. The Juvinall and Marshek life prediction model was used in conjunction with the Gerber equation for non-zero mean stress applications to generate a proposed life prediction model for this material which is user-friendly. The proposed life prediction model has a linear equation format with the flexibility to conservatively accommodate most of the various types, and combinations, of treatments applied in this research by the use of customised constants. The results show that there was good correlation between actual and predicted fatigue life as well as useful insights into the role of the microstructure in explaining fatigue life behaviour.

Surface treatments used to improve the life of a material known as peening are already extensively used in industry. The main aim of peening is to introduce compressive resiudal stress to the surface and subsurface of a metallic material, however literature also includes a number of microstructural and mechanical effects that peening introduces to a material when the compressive residual stress is established. The aim of this dissertation is compare and contrast the mechanical and microstructural effects of a current industrial peening method called shot peening, with three new increasingly competitive surface treatments. These are laser shock peening, ultrasonic impact treatment and water jet cavitation peening. The surface finish, and changes in microstructure, hardness depth profile, residual stress depth profile and plastic work depth profile of the four surface treatments are analysed. The effect of the peening parameters on the material is also determined, such as length of time of treatment, shot size, step size, direction of treatment, and irradiance per centimetre squared. The effect of peening on the residual stress depth profile of a gas tungsten eight pass grooved weld is also determined. Welding is a known region of early failure of material, with one of the factors affecting this being the introduction of tensile residual stress to the surface and near surface of the weld. An analysis to determine if peening the welded region alters the residual stress was carried out. In all experiments in this dissertation, the material that was used was austenitic stainless steel, as this material is highly used, especially within the nuclear industry. The results of this dissertation show that different peening types and peenign parameters produce a variety of surface, microstructural and mechanical effects to austenitic stainless steel. Peening of an aaustenitic stainless steel welded region results in teh near surface tensile residual stress to alter to ccompressive residual stress.

Oil Jet Cavitation Peening in Air (OPA) is capable of inducing compressive residual stress in standard aerospace materials. This paper demonstrates the process capabilities of OPA on Al 2024-T3. Specifically, changes in the workpiece residual stress, microhardness, mass loss and surface roughness are investigated as a function of the control parameters for the system. Additionally, the paper identifies a method to monitor the process in situ through the use of high frequency acoustic emission sensors. The results indicate the OPA process is capable of generating residual stresses comparable to those of standard shot peening, up to 60% of the yield strength of the material, at similar depths, around 300 µm. Finally, the acoustic emission signal may be utilized to monitor the process, specifically in predicting the microhardness and mass loss of the system.

Este trabalho foi estruturado visando apresentar os efeitos causados pelo shot peening (jateamento por esferas) em componentes mecânicos. Este processo introduz tensões residuais compressivas na superfície do material, o que retarda a nucleação de trincas de fadiga, promovendo aumento na vida em fadiga. O material utilizado foi o aço SAE 1060, laminado, com um perfil de 15 por 5mm. Para o jateamento foram selecionados dois tamanhos de esferas de aço: S110 e S280. Para cada tamanho foram realizadas três condições de cobertura superficial no material: 80%, 100% e 500%. Foram realizados metalografia, ensaio de tração, análise de tensões residuais, curvas de fadiga, rugosidade, perfil de microdureza e efetuadas análises da fratura e da superfície do material com e sem jateamento. Os resultados apontaram uma melhoria significativa no desempenho em fadiga com a esfera S110 na condição de 100% de cobertura associado às tensões residuais compressivas obtidas. / This work study the effects of shot peening on mechanical components.
