Summary

Introduction and Scope

Laser Shock Processing (LSP) is continuously developing as an effective technology for improving the surface and mechanical properties of metallic alloys and is emerging in direct competition with other established technologies, such as shot peening, both in preventive manufacturing treatments and maintenance/repair operations. The level of maturity of Laser Shock Processing has been increasing during the last few years, and several thematic international conferences have been organized (the 7th ICLPRP held in Singapore, June 17–22, 2018, being the last reference), where different developments on a number of key aspects have been discussed, i.e.:. All these aspects have been recursively treated by well-renowned specialists, providing a firm basis for the further development of the technology in its path to industrial penetration.
