A novel mechanical surface treatment has been investigated for its ability to introduce compressive residual stresses as well as low cold work and surface roughness to metallic components, all of which are known to contribute to fatigue performance enhancement. Comprehensive evaluation of the surface integrity is therefore crucial for surfaces of load bearing components where fatigue life is a concern. The novel treatment involves submerging a work piece within a vibratory chamber filled with hardened stainless steel media, analogous to the mass finishing process. During the treatment, the work piece’s surface is peened and polished simultaneously through the normal and shear stresses generated by impacts between the work piece and steel media. The surface integrity generated by this treatment is intimately related to the processing parameters. This work focuses on measurements of residual stresses and cold work distribution in the near-surface layers as well as surface topography generated at different stages of processing. Such measurements allow for process optimisation as well as a better understanding on the contribution of the different aspects of surface integrity to mechanical performance, particularly fatigue.
