PT Journal AU Zavitkovska, J Fulin, Z Spirit, Z TI Effects of Laser Shock Peening Technology on Stress Corrosion Cracking of Austenitic Steel SO Manufacturing Technology Journal PY 2024 BP 834 EP 842 VL 24 IS 5 DI 10.21062/mft.2024.079 DE LSP; 08CH18N10T; Corrosion; Stress corrosion cracking; Residual stress AB This article deals with the modification of surface properties of austenitic steels using laser shock peening (LSP) technology. This technology introduces residual compressive stresses into the surface layer. These stresses improve the technical properties of the material not only by affecting the re-sistance of corrosion cracking under stress. The aim of the work was to influence the austenitic steel 08CHN10T by LSP technology, to perform a corrosion test in a boiling MgCl2 solution and the sub-sequent evaluation of these tests. Furthermore, the hardness was measured of the peened part of the material by LSP technology and unpeened part. ER
