Comparison of Aluminum Alloy and Copper Friction Stir Burnishing Tools Combined with Direct Energy Deposition Arc Process on Microstructure and Microhardness of 316L Stainless Stee... by Teerayut Cordkaew, Jun’ichi Kaneko, Takeyuki Abe

“…The direct energy deposition arc process is widely used for fabricating medium and large components with moderate geometric complexity but often results in coarse microstructures and inconsistent hardness. This study introduces a hybrid manufacturing approach combining the friction stir burnishing process with the direct energy deposition arc by a gas–metal arc welding technique to refine the microstructure and enhance the microhardness of components fabricated from austenitic stainless steel 316L. …”

The mechanical coupling effect of laser shock and shot peening in Ti–6Al–4V dovetail joint: Residual stress, microstructure and fretting fatigue behavior by Chen Wang, Xiong Zhang, Yan Yin, Weifeng He, Yibo Shang, Liucheng Zhou

“…Fretting fatigue tests reveal load dependent improvements: at higher loads (10 kN, 12 kN), LSP + SP yields the greatest life extension (7.08 and 4.57 times), while at lower loads (8 kN), SP offers the highest enhancement (8.71 times). Microstructural analysis indicates that LSP + SP transforms multi-crack initiation into single-source fracture and deepens crack origins from 70 μm to 663 μm, consistent with the refinement zone. …”
