Abstract
The mechanism of healing fatigue damage was investigated by pulsed laser surface irradiation for polycrystalline copper film, X-ray Diffraction(XRD), optical microscopic and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The results indicate that surface melting and grain refinement were found in the melted surface layer. Tensile residual stresses were introduced in the resolidified surface layer due to laser surface melting which produced deleterious effect on fatigue property. Remelting and grain refinement in the surface layer is mainly responsible for healing fatigue damage and fatigue life improvement. The fatigue damage could be healed completely or partly by laser surface irradiation under the proper parameters of laser treatment for the specimens.
