This analysis reveals how shot peening enhances mechanical properties and surface morphology in additively manufactured metals, indicating significant effects on quality.
Key Points
Shot peening significantly improves surface morphology, resulting in decreased roughness and increased hardness.
Using higher peening pressure and ceramic beads enhances the effects, particularly in the subsurface regions.
Mechanical properties such as hardness and residual stresses are notably influenced by shot peening techniques.
The process showcases an interrelation between shot peening parameters and powder bed fusion laser beam manufacturing.
