Abstract

In this paper, the different effects of laser shock peening (LSP) and laser shock peening without coating (LSPwC) on the morphology, microhardness and fretting-wear behavior of DD6 Ni-based single-crystal superalloy are investigated. The results show that the surface roughness of DD6 decreases slightly after LSP, while it increases after LSPwC due to surface remelting. Shock wave strengthening during LSP and LSPwC results in plastic deformation of the surface layer of DD6 samples. However, besides work hardening from shock wave, dispersion strengthening of oxide particles also occurs during LSPwC. Therefore, after LSPwC, the microhardness of the DD6 surface layer increases by 38.8%, higher than the increase of 27.7% after LSP. The fretting wear resistance of DD6 increases by about 42.8% and 58% after LSP and LSPwC, respectively. The surface roughness only affects the friction coefficient at the initial stage of fretting wear. The hardness increase caused by work hardening and the dispersion strengthening of surface oxides after laser strengthening is the key to the improvement of fretting wear resistance. The main wear mechanisms of untreated and LSP sample are oxidation wear, abrasive wear and adhesive wear, while the main wear mechanisms of LSPwC sample are oxidation wear and adhesive wear.
