Abstract
According to an aspect of the disclosure, there may be provided a peening apparatus for generating a compressive residual stress on a pipe member including at least one curved round portion and having a hollow inside formed therein in which a first fluid and a second fluid, which is in a gas phase, are accommodated, the apparatus including: a probe which is disposed such that it is submerged in the first fluid supplied to the hollow inside, and which is configured to apply a wave to the first fluid, wherein the first fluid and the second fluid have different acoustic impedances, so that the wave is totally reflected on a reflection surface where the first fluid and the second fluid are in contact, and forms a standing wave, and wherein a cavity generated and grown by the formed standing wave is exploded and emits a shock wave or microjet, which generates a compressive residual stress on the inner surface of the pipe member surrounding the hollow inside.
