Abstract
We attempted to estimate the residual stress which evolved during the shot peening of Al 7075 alloy using leaky surface acoustic wave (LSAW). Shot peening was conducted to produce a variation in the compressive residual stress with the depth from the surface at a shot velocity of 30m/s. The LSAW velocity was measured using a scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM). The Vickers hardness profile obtained inwards from the surface showed significant work hardening of the near surface layer with a thickness of about 0.3mm. The variation in the LSAW velocity through the shot peened surface layer was in good agreement with the distribution of the residual stress measured by X-ray diffraction.
