Abstract
Surface gradient stress distribution was prepared on AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel (MSS) by massive laser shock peening treatment (MLSPT) with different pulse energies, and effects of MLSPT on residual stress and corrosion fatigue properties in NaCl solutions with different pH values were investigated by microstructural observation, residual stress measurement, corrosion fatigue test, and fractural morphology. Results showed that the coupling effect of MLSPT-induced surface microstructural evolution and gradient stress distribution effectively contributed to an extension in corrosion fatigue properties. Furthermore, the corrosion fatigue crack growth rate equation considering both gradient compressive residual stress and pH value was developed.
