Abstract: | This research studies the individual and combined effects of mechanical shot peening and the deposition of TiAlCuN coating on additively manufactured 316L stainless steel. Shot peening has been found to induce a 40% increase in surface hardness, while the combined effect of shot peening and the coating produced an approximately three-fold increase in surface hardness when compared to the as-printed coupons. Shot peening reduced the surface roughness of printed metal coupons by 50%, showing that shot peening can also serve to improve the surface finish of as-printed 316L stainless steel components. The peening process was found to induce a compressive residual stress of 589 MPa, with a maximum affected depth of approximately 200 m. Scratch testing of the printed and coated specimens showed complete delamination failure at a normal load of 14 N, when compared to hybrid treated samples which failed at 10 N. On the other hand, from the corrosion tests, it was found that the hybrid treated samples provided the optimal results as opposed to the other variables. |
