Abstract: The changes of surface topography, surface roughness, surface residual stress and compressive residual stress field caused by shot peening and their effects on tension-tension fatigue properties in Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al titanium alloy were studied. The results show that the fatigue limit for 1×107 cycles is improved by about 30% with shot peening and confirm that shot peening can improve tension-tension fatigue properties of metals. Moreover, fatigue crack source is single after shot peening. The reason why tension-tension fatigue properties of metals can be modified by shot peening is that the surface integrity such as better surface finish roughness and beneficial compressive residual stress field can be induced by shot peening.
