A Study on Delay Effect of Fatigue Life by Laser Welding Using Shot-Peening

At present, welding technology is not only emphasized in the development of manufacturing technology but also application is expanding. In these systems, application of SUS as high-temperature material which is used for special purposes is attempted, and improvement of manufacturing technologies bear watching together with increase of using rate. Specifically, Wings with surface of three-dimensional shape usually applied to Fastener with purpose of lightweight. However, due to development of welding technology, methods of existing assembly tend to be replaced by welding, recently. Specifically, if laser welding techniques is applied, it minimizes heat-affected zone than other welding techniques. However, in the case of these special welding, residual stress is raised, and it fatally affects fatigue life. In order to remove residual stress and delay effect of fatigue life, shot-peening is executed; it executes shot-peening and verifies delayed effects of fatigue life. The intention of this study is to obtain the optimal conditions of shot-peening
