Abstract

Aluminum 7075-T6 alloy was subjected to Laser Shock Peening without Coating (LSPwC) and Ultrasonic Nanocrystal Surface Modification (UNSM) to boost fatigue performance in both air and corrosive environment. Severe plastic deformation (SPD) caused by UNSM treatment induced significantly higher (~3.5 × ) surface compressive residual stress than LSPwC, while the intense shockwaves generated by LSPwC introduced ~ 3 × higher depth of compression. Electrochemical results confirmed improved polarization resistance and reduced corrosion rate post LSPwC, which is mainly attributed to its oxide layer and near-surface microstructural homogenization. Changes in the mechanical and corrosion behavior of the alloy after LSPwC produced up to ~ 650 pct augment in corrosion–fatigue life over base material while UNSM improved the performance by up to ~ 250 pct.
