Laser peening is a surface treatment technique which makes use of the mechanically reciprocal action of the material surface and the high-pressure plasma which occurs when a short-pulsed laser is irradiated on material under water. The energy from a single shot (1 pulse) of laser peening is very much greater than that of shot peening. Consequently the improved efficacy of the residual stress extends to as much as a depth of 1 mm and this technique is employed as a preventative measure against stress corrosion cracking in nuclear power stations where high reliability is required and as a high cycle fatigue countermeasure for aeroplane components. Furthermore, laser peening facilitates the control of various conditions such as pulse energy appropriate to the material, configuration and region and has other characteristics; examples are the lack of necessity of pre-treatment such as polishing, no contact with the material and no reaction force. The principles of laser peening are described in this paper and the improving effects of residual stress when laser peening is employed for build-up weld zones and welded joints are reported. Furthermore, the stress corrosion cracking test results are shown.
