Abstract
This study investigates the influence of ultrasonic-assisted abrasive peening (UAP) on the microstructural evolution and corrosion characteristics of Al-6061 alloy. A 3 min peened sample demonstrated a 50 % reduction in grain size and a 14-fold increase in residual stress compared to its unpeened state. The corrosion rate for the 3 min peening also decreased to 9.42 × 10−3 mm/year, compared to 89.4 × 10−3 mm/year for the unpeened alloy specimen. Peening beyond 3 min was observed to be susceptible to pitting. Hence, the UAP is found to be an effective method of improving the corrosion resistance of Al-6061.
