Abstract
A system, process, and component are disclosed. The system and process involve an induction heater arranged and disposed to heat a component to form a heated surface and a nozzle arrangement positioned to apply a fluid to the heated surface to form a processed surface of a component. The processed surface includes compressive residual stress resulting in increased resistance to fatigue, including fretting fatigue, for the component.
