Effective femtosecond laser shock peening on a Mg–3Gd alloy at low pulse energy 430 µJ of 1 kHz

In this paper, microstructure evolution and hardness of Mg-3Gd alloy treated by femtosecond (fs) laser shock peening (LSP) with direct and confined ablation modes were investigated in detail. Under a relatively low pulse energy of 430 µJ with a repetition of 1 kHz, the surface hardness of sample has...
