Abstract
Abstract This research employed Shot Peening (SP) to enhance the tribological behavior of the En-31 pump shaft material. The study compared the effects of varying peening pressures (2.5, 3, 3.5, and 5 bar) and shot sizes (S110 and S230) on surface roughness, hardness, and tribological behavior. The results shown highest hardness of 12.5% was achieved at a pressure of 4 bar with the S230 shot material, while the surface roughness increased by over 75% under the same conditions. The 3.5 bar peening process produced the most significant improvements based on fractographic analysis.
