Abstract
A method for counteracting distortion of the airfoil caused by laser shock peening a gas turbine engine compressor metallic airfoil along its leading and/or trailing edge to form laser shock peened surfaces extending radially along at least a portion of the edges with a region having deep compressive residual stresses imparted by laser shock peening (LSP) extending into the airfoil from the laser shock peened surfaces.
