Laser peening is a surface treatment technique that improves the mechanical performance of metals by producing plastic deformation with a laser-induced shock wave. Current studies on laser peening mainly focus on the magnitude of the compressive residual stress and the hardness of the laser-peened material. Systematic studies on the many parameters that affect laser peening are required to increase the efficiency of the technique. In this study, three factors associated with laser peening are defined and the parameters that govern these factors are identified. The effects of these laser peening parameters on the plastic deformation of stainless steel are described. The laser intensity, coverage (number of laser pulses per unit area), focal spot diameter, and material condition parameters were varied in laser peening experiments. The parameters desirable for efficient laser peening of stainless steel were examined on the basis of the experimental results.
