Abstract

A laser-shock process is described that can greatly improve the fatigue and crack growth resistance of some aluminum aircraft alloys. Additional developments needed for eventual commercial application of the processes are defined. Some of the evolving functional requirements for the laser system are given. It is concluded that a commercial laser system will probably have to be developed specifically for this application.
