Water Droplet Erosion Performance of Laser Shock Peened Ti-6Al-4V

The water droplet erosion (WDE) performance of laser shock peened (LSP) Ti-6Al-4V was investigated. LSP condition using two or three peening impacts per unit area induced compressive residual stresses. However, LSP treatment showed a mild increase in microhardness and no observable changes in the mi...
