Özet

The aim of this paper is to clarify the effects of shot peening on fatigue life and strain hardening behavior of spring steel samples containing artificial surface defect. Artificial defect acting as pre-cracks is introduced and the effects of this defect on the material surface and the distribution of residual stress away from the defect are investigated before and after shot peening. Shot peening has provided the following modifications on the surface: (1) homogenous compressive residual stress, (2) high dislocation density, (3) superficial strain hardening, (4) retained austenite reduction. In this paper, shot peening is applied to 50CrV4 steel and its effect on surface roughness, microhardness, surface residual stress, crystallite size and dislocation density calculation is determined and SEM observations are used to reveal the properties severely strain-hardened layer. It can be shown that the shot peening can modify the crystallite size, however, the main effect is achieved by increasing the dislocation density and inducing the highly compressive residual stress. The effect of the surface modification to the 3-point bending fatigue life are analyzed.
