Abstract
Peening, using cavitation impacts induced by bubble collapse, represents a novel surface enhancement technique for machine parts without involving conventional shot peening blasting. This is known as cavitation shotless peening, CSP. The improvement in the fatigue strength of a spur gear after CSP has been demonstrated. The fatigue strength of a gear treated with CSP was improved by about 60%, compared with that of a non-peened gear.
