3. Conclusions
- Increased microhardness at the treated surface by ~30–50% with enhancements extending ~1 mm into the surface.
- LP was able to induce beneficial compressive residual stresses of ~300–600 MPa which significantly delayed crack propagation rates and improved fatigue life.
- A 72% increase in LCF life over an untreated DD6 test specimen was observed following LP.
- LP was shown to improve hot corrosion performance through the dislocation-assisted growth of protective oxides
