Laser Cavitation Peening and Its Application for Improving the Fatigue Strength of Welded Parts

During conventional submerged laser peening, the impact force induced by laser ablation is used to produce local plastic deformation pits to enhance metallic material properties, such as fatigue performance. However, a bubble, which behaves like a cavitation, is generated after laser ablation, known...
