Abstract
The FGH95 superalloy used for turbine disk manufacturing was strengthened by the oblique laser shock processing (OLSP). The laser energy, beam diameter, and number of impacts were selected as the test factors, and the three-factor three-level oblique laser shock processing orthogonal test was carried out. Based on the analysis of variance and range of the surface residual stress, microhardness, roughness, tensile strength, and yield strength of FGH95 superalloy after LSP, the factor level combination of relative best comprehensive performance was obtained. The results showed that, within the 10% confidence level, the order of influencing factors with significant difference is: laser energy > number of impacts > beam diameter. Compared with the unimpacted sample, the microhardness of the material surface was increased by about 25% after OLSP. With the increase of laser energy, the dimple distribution of the sample was more uniform, smaller in size, and shallower in depth. However, the thickness of the affected layer was very low, and there was no significant effect on the tensile properties. In general, and under the test conditions selected in this study, the combination of 8 Joule laser energy, 3 mm beam diameter, and three impacts can be selected to obtain the best comprehensive performance. The results of this paper provide a reference for the OLSP of the FGH95 superalloy turbine disk and other aero engine parts.
