Synergetic effects of shot peening and nitrogen ion implantation on the fatigue behavior of TC17 titanium alloy

Key Points

• Enhanced fatigue behavior results from combined shot peening and nitrogen ion implantation treatments.
• Testing reveals a significant increase in fatigue lifetime, demonstrating a possible improvement up to 200%.
• Assessment using mechanical testing evaluates the effects of treatments on fatigue resistance of TC17 titanium alloy.
• Highlights the need for further studies to understand the underlying mechanisms driving these synergetic effects.
