Abstract
The effects of ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) on residual stresses and fatigue crack initiation were investigated in various engineering alloys. It was found that higher contact force and smaller pin in UNSM produced higher compressive residual stresses at the surface and subsurface of the alloys. The compressive residual stresses were found to be higher in high yield strength alloys. A deeper compressive residual stress field was observed in alloys with higher elastic modulus and strain hardening exponent. Fatigue crack initiation was found to occur subsurface in the material where the effect of UNSM hardening was saturated. It was concluded that deeper UNSM hardening produces higher fatigue life.
