Mechanical properties of engineering materials can be improved by refining their microstructures. In the past decade, various kinds of advanced techniques by using intense plastic deformation were developed to synthesize ultra-fine grained materials, such as equal-channel angular pressing (1, 2), cold-rolling (3, 4) and torsion straining (5). However, most of these techniques are still difficult for practical application to conventional engineering materials. It is known that most failures of engineering materials are very sensitive to the structure and properties of material surface, and in most cases material failures occur on the surface. Therefore, optimization of surface structure and properties may effectively improve the global behavior of material. With the increasing evidences of unique properties for nanostructured materials, it is reasonably expected to achieve surface modification by generation of a nanostructured surface layer, ie surface nanocrystallization (SNC)(6). By using the ultrasonic shot peening (USP) method (7), nanostructured surface layers were successfully obtained on a 316L stainless steel and the pure Fe samples (8, 9). In this work, we report the synthesis of a nanostructured surface layer on a low carbon steel by using a high-energy shot peening (HESP). The microstructural evolution was characterized by means of different techniques, and the change of mechanical properties after the HESP treatment was analyzed.
