Abstract

In order to improve the stress corrosion resistance of 304 stainless steel, the laser shock peening tests without coating were carried out. The roughness, microhardness, residual stress, and microstructure were analyzed, the slow strain rate test was carried out and the stress corrosion sensitivity indexes were calculated. The results showed that the roughness and microhardness were increased with the increase of laser energy density and the compressive residual stress and martensitic transformation were induced. When the laser energy densities were less than 12.74GW/cm2, the effects of compressive residual stress and grain refinement were greater than that of surface roughness, so the stress corrosion sensitivity index decreased with the increase of the laser energy density. When the laser energy density was increased from 12.74GW/cm2 to 15.925GW/cm2, the negative effects of the surface roughness and martensitic phase played the main role, so the stress corrosion sensitivity index did not decrease but increase.
