Enhancing adhesion and tribological properties of Al7075 via shot peening and physical vapor deposition techniques

Key Points

• Improved adhesion was observed after applying shot peening and physical vapor deposition techniques, leading to better durability.
• Key evidence shows a significant increase in tribological properties, with a reduction in friction coefficients between 15-20%.
• Analysis used a combination of shot peening and physical vapor deposition on Al7075 to investigate material enhancements.
• These findings support the potential application of Al7075 in industries requiring high-performance materials with improved surface properties.
