Femtosecond laser shock peening of ultra-thin-walled Ti-6Al-4V: study on surface integrity and high cycle fatigue mechanism by Rongping Wang, Xinbin Zhang, Peng He, Wenhe Wang, Wenhua Chen, Xiaolong Wei, Xinlei Pan, Liucheng Zhou

“…This improvement is attributed to the generation of a high-amplitude compressive residual stress (CRS) layer approximately 100 μm deep at the surface. Microstructural evolution and dislocation behavior analysis revealed that a single femtosecond laser shock peening (FS-1) significantly refined the grain structure and increased dislocation density, while triple femtosecond laser shock peening (FS-3) reduced dislocation density through a dynamic recrystallization (DRX) recovery mechanism. …”
