    摘要: A method of manufacturing a workpiece involves performing any one of various post-processing part modification steps on a workpiece that has been previously subjected to laser shock processing. In one step, material is removed from the compressive residual stress region of the processed workpiece. Alternately, the workpiece may be provided with oversized dimensions such that the removal process removes an amount of material sufficient to generate a processed workpiece having dimensions substantially conforming to design specifications. Alternately, the material removal process is adapted to establish a penetration depth for material removal that coincides with the depth at which the workpiece exhibits maximum compressive residual stress. Alternately, a first high-intensity laser shock processing treatment is performed on the workpiece, followed by the removal of material from the compressive residual stress region, and then a second low-intensity laser shock processing treatment is performed on the workpiece. Material may be removed from the compressive residual stress region through a workpiece surface different from the laser shock processed surface. Material may also be deposited onto the laser shock processed surface.

    摘要: Various laser shock processing methods are provided to establish selective compressive residual stress distribution profiles within a workpiece. An asymmetrical stress distribution profile may be formed through the thickness of a thin section of a gas turbine engine airfoil. One method involves simultaneously irradiating a workpiece with a set of laser beams to form a corresponding set of adjacent non-overlapping laser shock peened surfaces, enabling the shockwaves to encounter one another. Additionally, opposite sides of the workpiece may be irradiated at different times to form opposing laser shock peened surfaces, enabling the shockwaves to meet at a location apart from the mid-plane. Furthermore, opposite sides of the workpiece may be irradiated simultaneously using laser beams having different pulse lengths to form opposing laser shock peened surfaces. Moreover, opposite sides of the workpiece may be irradiated simultaneously to form a set of laterally offset laser shock peened surfaces.
