Abstract :
Various parameters can affect shot peening such as the number of particles and distance between particles and the surface layer. In this computational study, these parameters' effects on the creation of residual stress and mechanical behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy were described. For this purpose, Molecular Dynamics (MD) method is applied in two main steps. First, the simulated titanium surface was equilibrated for 1 ns. Next, the shot peening process was done on the equilibrated surface by using the various numbers of particles and distance. MD simulation results indicated, that by increasing the number of particles from 1 to 5, the mechanical behavior of the titanium surface was improved, and residual stress and hardness of the surface increased and reached 452.02 MPa and 494.46 HV in model 1 (Lj potential between particle and titanium surface), respectively. Furthermore, the results indicated that decreasing the distance from 15 Å to 5 Å led to increasing compressive residual stress and hardness of titanium surface mechanical. Numerically, by decreasing the shot peening distance from 15 Å to 5 Å, residual stress and hardness of titanium surface layer increased and reached -419.63 MPa and 510.83 HV in model 1, respectively.
