The influence of vibratory shot peening on the selected properties of the surface layer elements made of cast iron

Abstract

The results of experimental investigations influence of vibratory shot peening on surface roughness and residual stress of spheroidal graphite cast iron objects were presented. The surfaces before vibratory shot peening were milled using different feed. After vibratory shot peening surface roughness Ra = 0.7÷0.9 μm was obtained and in surface layer compressive residual stress, with the maximum (absolute) value from 170 MPa to 330 MPa at a depth 0.4÷0.7 mm have been formed. For accepted vibratory shot peening condition it was recommended to use time of about 8 minutes.
