Publication number: 20240169115Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) of metals can result in parts with unfavorable mechanical properties. Laser peening (LP) is a high strain rate mechanical surface treatment that hammers a workpiece and induces favorable mechanical properties. Peening strain hardens a surface and imparts compressive residual stresses improving the mechanical properties of a material. This disclosure describes systems, methods, and techniques for modeling laser peening of a part and determining when and where laser peening can be applied to layers of the part in order to improve the mechanical properties of that part.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Michael Patrick SEALY, Guru Charan Reddy MADIREDDY, Mehrdad NEGAHBAN
