Abstract
Fretting fatigue tests at elevated temperature were carried out using shot-peened specimens to improve the high temperature fretting fatigue strength of 12Cr-Mo-W-V steam turbine steel. Shot peening improved fretting fatigue strengths by a factor of 1.8 at an elevated temperature (773 K) as well as at room temperature. Residual compressive stresses first drop rapidly by a factor of three and then level off. Residual compressive stresses of 200 MPa were measured after a 30 000 h exposure at 773 K. Shot peening is thus shown to be effective over long periods at 773 K.
