Abstract

Laser peening is an emerging modern process that impresses a compressive stress into the surface of metals or alloys. This treatment can reduce the rate of intergranular stress corrosion cracking and fatigue cracking in structural metals or Alloy 600 needed for nuclear power plants.

Laser Peening--Strengthening Metals to Improve Fatigue Lifetime and Retard Stress-Induced Corrosion Cracking in Gears, Bolts and Cutter

Technical Report Hackel, L A ; Chen, H-L

Laser peening is an emerging modern process that impresses a compressive stress into the surfaces of metals. Treatment can reduce the rate of fatigue cracking and stress-corrosion-cracking in metals (such as gears, bolts and cutters) needed for tunnel boring and other construction & mining applications. Laser peening could also be used to form metals or alloys into a precise shape without yielding and leaving both sulfates in a crack resistant compressive state.

Effects of shot peening on corrosion and stress corrosion cracking behaviors of sensitized Alloy 600 in thiosulfate solution

Journal Article Tsai, W T ; Chang, C S ; Lee, J T - Corrosion (Houston); (United States)

Effects of shot peening on the corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behaviors of sensitized alloy 600 (UNSN06600) were studied. Electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (EPR) tests in 0.01 M sulfuric acid (H[sub 2]SO[sub 4]) + 0.001 M potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) solution and immersion tests in boiling 25% nitric acid (HNO[sub 3]) solution were used to evaluate the effect of heat treatment on the degree of sensitization of alloy 600. Potentiodynamic polarization tests in 0.01 M sodium thiosulfate (Na[sub 2]S[sub 2]O[sub 3]) solution at 95 C revealed shot peening increased the anodic current density (CD) of the alloy. However, SCC tests usingmore »« less

Laser Peening - A Processing Tool to Strengthen Metals or Alloys

Technical Report Chen, H-L ; Hackel, L A

Laser peening is an emerging modern process that impresses a compressive stress into the surfaces of metals or alloys. This treatment can reduce the rate of fatigue cracking and stress corrosion cracking in structural metals or alloys needed for aerospace, nuclear power plants, and military applications. Laser peening could also be used to form metals or alloys into precise shapes without their yielding, leaving their surfaces in a crack resistant compressive state.

Investigation of the Use of Laser Shock Peening for Enhancing Fatigue and Stress Corrosion Cracking Resistance of Nuclear Energy Materials

Technical Report Vasudevan, Vijay K. ; Jackson, John ; Teysseyre, Sebastien ; ...

The objective of this project, which includes close collaboration with scientists from INL and ANL, is to investigate and demonstrate the use of advanced mechanical surface treatments like laser shock peening (LSP) and ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) and establish baseline parameters for enhancing the fatigue properties and SCC resistance of nuclear materials like nickel-based alloy 600 and 304 stainless steel. The research program includes the following key elements/tasks: 1) Procurement of Alloy 600 and 304 SS, heat treatment studies; 2) LSP and UNSM processing of base metal and welds/HAZ of alloys 600 and 304; (3) measurement and mapping ofmore »« less

Rapid identification of conditions causing intergranular corrosion or intergranular stress corrosion cracking in sensitized alloy 600

Journal Article Woodward, J - Corrosion (Houston); (United States)

In 1973, Seys and van Haute introduced a technique for measuring pitting potentials. They called this technique the Static Potential Band Method. A metal wire was mounted in a corrosion cell with counter and reference electrodes, and an electrical connection made to one end. A potential was applied with a potentiostat. At the same time, a constant current was passed through the wire to create a potential gradient in the metal phase; the result was the creation of a gradient in the electrode potential along the wire. This technique has many applications in corrosion studies. In this work, it hasmore »« less
