Abstract

Shot peening can significantly improve the fatigue resistance of superalloys, but the effect on the tensile properties is more controversial. In this work, the surface morphology, subsurface microstructure, and high-temperature tensile properties of FGH4113A Ni-based powder metallurgy superalloy were systematically investigated at different shot peening intensities (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mmA) and shot peening coverages (100% and 200%). The results show that the surface roughness, surface microhardness, and thickness of the subsurface plastic deformation layer gradually increase with increasing shot peening intensity and shot peening coverage. Meanwhile, the percentage of small-angle grain boundaries from 0.04% quickly increases to about 35%. When the shot peening intensity increases to 0.3 mmA, it is accompanied by more defects such as peeling and surface layer peeling on the surface of the superalloy. The shot peening intensity and coverage also have an influence on the tensile properties of the FGH4113A superalloy at 700 °C. When the shot peening condition was 0.2 mmA-100%, the tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation of the superalloy at 700 °C were 1452 MPa, 1123 MPa, and 15.8%, respectively, which were 27 MPa, 29 MPa, and 4% higher than those before shot peening. When the shot peening intensity increased to 0.3 mmA, the yield strength decreased by nearly 60 MPa compared to shot peening at 0.2 mmA-100%. The evolution of tensile performance under different shot peening conditions was also analyzed and provided theoretical and data support for the selection of shot peening parameters.
