- TEM observation shows that LSP introduced a large number of dislocations in the aluminum substrate, but caused stacking faults in the SiC particles of the SiCp/2009Al composite. HRTEM investigation indicates that no possible crack or any other defect was generated at the SiC/Al interface.
- LSP provided a hardening for the near-surface layer of the SiCp/2009Al composite. The microhardness value increased from 155–170 HV to 170–185 HV, with an affected depth of more than 1.5 mm, after 20 and 30 J twice peening.
- Compressive residual stresses of a value more than 200 MPa were introduced into the surface of SiCp/2009Al composite after 20 and 30 J twice peening, while the compressive residual stresses decreased after surface milling, even resulting in a tensile state in 20 J twice peened specimens.
- Fatigue lives were significantly increased after 20 and 30 J twice peening, which are 10.60 and 4.88 times higher than that of the BM specimens. The milling of the peened surface resulted in a partial decrease in the fatigue lives, while they were still 2.66 and 1.91 times higher than those of the BM specimens.
