Abstract

Recently, considerable research has been conducted on wet shot peening (WSP), but a detailed investigation of this process is still lacking. For a systematic study, four three-dimensional models of WSP and shot peening (SP) were developed using the finite element method (FEM), based on the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method. Micron-scaled water film is directly observed during WSP processing. Simulation results indicate that the water film has a significant impact on the dimple size and residual stress distribution. Compared with SP, WSP can produce (a) a dimple with a larger curvature radius, (b) greater compressive residual stress in the surface layer with a larger area, and (c) more uniformly distributed surface residual stress. This work reveals the mechanism underlying the changes mentioned above, which provides rationales for the promotional applications of WSP.
