  2. Peening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peening

    In metallurgy, peening is the process of working a metal's surface to improve its material properties, usually by mechanical means, such as hammer blows, by blasting with shot (shot peening), focusing light (laser peening), or in recent years, with water column impacts (water jet peening) and cavitation jets (cavitation peening).

  3. Optical Manipulation of Atoms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_Manipulation_of_Atoms

    The manipulation of atoms using optical fields is a vital and fundamental area of research within the field of atomic physics. This research revolves around leveraging the distinct characteristics of laser light and coherent optical fields to achieve precise control over various aspects of atomic systems.

  4. Shot peening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_peening

    Shot peening is a cold working process used to produce a compressive residual stress layer and modify the mechanical properties of metals and composites. It entails striking a surface with shot (round metallic, glass, or ceramic particles) with force sufficient to create plastic deformation .

  5. Laser peening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_peening

    Laser peening (LP), or laser shock peening (LSP), is a surface engineering process used to impart beneficial residual stresses in materials. The deep, high-magnitude compressive residual stresses induced by laser peening increase the resistance of materials to surface-related failures, such as fatigue, fretting fatigue, and stress corrosion cracking.

  6. Shot peen forming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_peen_forming

    Shot peen forming is a specialized application of shot peening for forming metal sheets into complex shapes. The compressive stresses induced by the impact of the shot can be used to change the shape of the component into a desired contour.
