A metal material other than strain-free iron powder can be used as a reference piece for X-ray measurement of residual stress. The metal material is manufactured by nanocrystallizing at least a portion of a surface of a metal material, and then removing inherent strain by annealing the metal material, thereby eliminating stress.

A deterioration evaluation method includes a determination step of determining a shot peening condition for imparting a maximum residual stress to an object formed of a metal material; a first shot peening step of performing first shot peening on the object under the shot peening condition; a first measurement step of measuring a first residual stress of the object after the first shot peening step; a second shot peening step of performing second shot peening on the object after the first measurement step under the shot peening condition; a second measurement step of measuring a second residual stress of the object after the second shot peening step; and an evaluation step of evaluating deterioration of the object based on the first residual stress and the second residual stress.

A surface treatment processing method includes: a shot processing step of performing shot processing of shooting shot media at a treatment target; a first inspection step of nondestructively inspecting at least one of a surface side state and an external dimension of the treatment target subjected to the shot processing, evaluating that the treatment target is passed when an inspection result is within a first normal range set in advance, evaluating that the treatment target is failed when the inspection result is out of a first allowable range set in advance to include the first normal range, and evaluating that the treatment target is to be additionally processed when the inspection result is out of the first normal range but within the first allowable range; and an additional processing step of performing the shot processing again on the treatment target which is evaluated to be additionally processed.

A first inspection step nondestructively inspects a surface side state of a treatment target to be subjected to shot processing of shooting shot media at the treatment target and evaluates that the treatment target is failed when an inspection result deviates from a first allowable range predetermined. A condition setting step sets a shot processing condition in response to the inspection result of the first inspection step for the treatment target evaluated as not failed in the first inspection step. A shot processing step performs shot processing of shooting shot media at the treatment target evaluated as not failed in the first inspection step in the shot processing condition set in the condition setting step. A second inspection step after the shot processing step nondestructively inspects a surface side state of the treatment target.

An apparatus includes an X-ray generating source; a first detecting element adapted to detect intensity of diffracted X-rays of the measuring object at a first detecting position; a second detecting element adapted to detect intensity of the diffracted X-rays of the measuring object at a second detecting position; a moving mechanism adapted to move each of the first detecting element and the second detecting element along a straight line extending in a direction orthogonal to a direction of incidence of the X-rays; a movement control unit adapted to control respective detecting positions of the first detecting element and the second detecting element by driving the moving mechanism; and a stress calculation unit adapted to calculate residual stress of the measuring object based on intensity peaks of the diffracted X-rays detected, respectively, by the first detecting element and the second detecting element each moved by the moving mechanism.

First, it is determined in a determination step by a determination unit whether there is a nitrided layer on a surface of a water-cooled hole of a mold, by using an eddy current sensor. Next, in a shot step, when it is determined in the determination step that there is no nitrided layer, the surface of the water-cooled hole of the mold is shot-peened under a shot condition set according to a base material of the mold, and when it is determined in the determination step that there is the nitrided layer, the surface of the water-cooled hole of the mold is shot-peened under a shot condition which maintains a state where there is the nitrided layer.

Shot peening method

In a trial peening step, a shot peening process is applied to a back faceB of a moldin which an opening of a closed-end water cooling holeis formed. Next, in an evaluation step, compressive residual stress and surface roughness of a region shot-peened in the trial peening step are measured and an extent of shot peening treatment in the trial peening step is evaluated based on measurement results. Next, in a peening step, a surface of the water cooling holein the moldis shot-peened under peening conditions set based on peening conditions for the trial peening step and on evaluation results produced in the evaluation step.

A method of evaluating impact force input to a workpiece member with a laser irradiated in laser peening processing is provided. This evaluation method includes a signal acquiring step, an input function calculating step, and an evaluating step. In the signal acquiring step, a detected waveform is acquired. The detected waveform is output during the laser peening processing by an AE sensor that detects an elastic wave generated in the workpiece member. In the input function calculating step, an input function I(t) by laser irradiation is calculated. In the evaluating step, impact force is evaluated using the input function I(t) by the laser irradiation.

First, a nozzle insertion process in which a nozzle is inserted into a water cooling hole having a small diameter which is provided in a back of a mold is performed. Then, an injection process in which a mixed flow of air having a pressure ranging from 0.1 MPa to 1.0 MPa with an injection particle is jetted from a leading end of a nozzle to a distal portion of the water cooling hole. As a result, a shot peening process is performed on the distal portion of the water cooling hole.
