Abstract:
First, it is determined in a determination step by a determination unit whether there is a nitrided layer on a surface of a water-cooled hole of a mold, by using an eddy current sensor. Next, in a shot step, when it is determined in the determination step that there is no nitrided layer, the surface of the water-cooled hole of the mold is shot-peened under a shot condition set according to a base material of the mold, and when it is determined in the determination step that there is the nitrided layer, the surface of the water-cooled hole of the mold is shot-peened under a shot condition which maintains a state where there is the nitrided layer.
Abstract:
First, a nozzle insertion process in which a nozzle is inserted into a water cooling hole having a small diameter which is provided in a back of a mold is performed. Then, an injection process in which a mixed flow of air having a pressure ranging from 0.1 MPa to 1.0 MPa with an injection particle is jetted from a leading end of a nozzle to a distal portion of the water cooling hole. As a result, a shot peening process is performed on the distal portion of the water cooling hole.
Abstract:
A shot peening method is disclosed. One method includes performing a first shot peening for applying residual stress to a surface of an object formed of a metal material at a first depth, and performing a second shot peening for applying residual stress to the surface of the object at a second depth deeper than the first depth after the first shot peening. The first shot peening is performed before the object is used at a high temperature and the second shot peening is performed after the object is used at the high temperature, and after a cracking caused by stress due to thermal expansion and contraction of crystal grains occurs in the object. The cracking being deeper than the first depth and shallower than the second depth.

Abstract:
In a trial peening step, a shot peening process is applied to a back face 40B of a mold 40 in which an opening of a closed-end water cooling hole 42 is formed. Next, in an evaluation step, compressive residual stress and surface roughness of a region shot-peened in the trial peening step are measured and an extent of shot peening treatment in the trial peening step is evaluated based on measurement results. Next, in a peening step, a surface of the water cooling hole 42 in the mold 40 is shot-peened under peening conditions set based on peening conditions for the trial peening step and on evaluation results produced in the evaluation step.
Abstract:
A test system includes a computer, a 3D printer, and a test device. The computer obtains shape data which indicates a three-dimensional shape of a workpiece and material data which indicates a material of the workpiece. The 3D printer forms a structural object which has a three-dimensional shape that is indicated by the shape data. The test device performs a test on a pseudo workpiece which has been prepared by adding, to the structural object, a test piece made of the material that is indicated in the material data.
Abstract:
A first inspection step nondestructively inspects a surface side state of a treatment target to be subjected to shot processing of shooting shot media at the treatment target and evaluates that the treatment target is failed when an inspection result deviates from a first allowable range predetermined. A condition setting step sets a shot processing condition in response to the inspection result of the first inspection step for the treatment target evaluated as not failed in the first inspection step. A shot processing step performs shot processing of shooting shot media at the treatment target evaluated as not failed in the first inspection step in the shot processing condition set in the condition setting step. A second inspection step after the shot processing step nondestructively inspects a surface side state of the treatment target.
