dc.description.abstractHigh dislocation densities are formed in the irradiated region of the workpiece during the laser shock processing; in which case, surface hardening is resulted. The process involves with recoil pressure loading at the workpiece surface with the minimum heating effects in the irradiated region. This favors the process to be a good candidate for the surface treatment of metallic materials. Therefore, in the present study, laser shock processing of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy is carried out and the influence of a number of laser pulses and irradiated spot diameter on the treated layer characteristics, including morphology and hardness, are investigated. It is found that the number of laser pulses has significant influence on the resulting surface characteristics such as surface roughness, crystallite size, micro-strain, and microhardness of the alloy. In this case, surface roughness is deteriorated by increasing number of laser pulses and pulse intensity. In addition, fine crystallite structure takes place in the laser-treated region. © 2013 Springer-Verlag London.
