  • LASER SHOCK PEENING APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20250179605
    Abstract: A system for performing a laser peening application on a workpiece. A purge system is included with the system to provide a compartment housing combustion sources with compressed air so that the compartment has an increased air pressure. Also, a method of operating the system in which power is provided to the system, but only the purge system operates initially. Only after the purge system has bene operating, are the other subsystems and components of the systems, like the laser, provided with operational power.
    Type: Application

  • LASER SHOCK PEENING APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20210301368
    Abstract: A laser shock peening device and components thereof. The optical system of the laser peening device includes sapphire optical elements, such as a lens or a prism. A water channel is provided in a pen for the laser shock peening device that has a curved flow path to direct the water. An air conduit in the pen provides a stream of air to the surface receiving the laser shock peening treatment.
