Abstract

In the present study, the effect of laser intensity on the microstructure, residual stress, microhardness, and corrosion resistance property of laser shock peened Ti6Al4V using an Nd: YAG laser has been investigated. The applied laser intensity varied from 1 to 8 GW/cm2. During the processing, the pulse density was 574 pulses/cm2, and water was used as a confining layer. Due to laser shock peening, there is refinement of microstructure and presence of oxides on the surface. The residual stress on the surface was found to vary from + 130.12 to − 138.16 MPa and varied with process parameters. There is an increase in microhardness which also varied with process parameters. Due to laser surface processing, there is a significant improvement in corrosion resistance. A detailed structure–property correlation has been established.
