Title
Laser Peening Technology Used on Power Generation Components.
Abstract
The article discusses laser peening technology manufactured by Curtiss-Wright Corp., which is being used by Siemens Power Generation for strengthening titanium blades in steam turbines. The peening system uses a neodymium glass laser to create a subsurface compressive stress layer which protects metal from fatigue and cracking.
