Abstract

Laser Shock Processing (LSP) is increasingly applied as an effective technology for the improvement mechanical and surface properties of metallic materials for different types of components, mostly as a means of enhancement of their fatigue life behavior. As reported in previous contributions, a main effect resulting from the application of the LSP technique consists in the generation of relatively deep compression residual stresses fields allowing an improved mechanical behavior. In this paper, the special case of Ti-6Al-4 V alloy is considered with specific consideration of the microstructural changes and residual stresses fields justifying those macroscopic effects. In particular, the effect of the application of different typical LSP intensities on the microstructure and residual stresses fields introduced in this material and their possible correlation to the associated surface effects are analyzed. Emphasis is placed on the study of the thermal stability of these fields after an aging heat treatment at typical high temperature working conditions. The results show that, according to expectations, a certain level of residual stresses and dislocation density remains after in-work thermal aging. The combination of different material characterization techniques has made possible to obtain a correlated set of results highlighting the complementarity of different scale approaches from surface (X-ray) to bulk (neutrons) methods. A model based on the evolution of immobile dislocation density is proposed to rationalize the distribution of dislocation densities, pointing out that plastic deformation is retained. The results clearly show such material improvement stability under typical heavy-duty conditions, thus endorsing the use of the LSP for Ti-6Al-4 V as a suitable technology for industrial applications in relatively high temperature conditions.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Journal Of Alloys And Compounds due to its progression and the good impact it has achieved in recent years, according to the agency WoS (JCR), it has become a reference in its field. In the year of publication of the work, 2023, it was in position 8/90, thus managing to position itself as a Q1 (Primer Cuartil), in the category Metallurgy & Metallurgical Engineering. Notably, the journal is positioned above the 90th percentile.

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from World Citations provided by WoS (ESI, Clarivate), it yields a value for the citation normalization relative to the expected citation rate of: 1. This indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: ESI Nov 14, 2024)

This information is reinforced by other indicators of the same type, which, although dynamic over time and dependent on the set of average global citations at the time of their calculation, consistently position the work at some point among the top 50% most cited in its field:

  • Weighted Average of Normalized Impact by the Scopus agency: 1.9 (source consulted: FECYT Feb 2024)
  • Field Citation Ratio (FCR) from Dimensions: 3.02 (source consulted: Dimensions Oct 2025)
