The invention belongs to the technical field of
metal part
surface modification, and relates to a composite strengthening method for a carburized surface of a high-bearing gear of an aero-engine. According to the method, high-
hardness and high-density
ceramic shots are adopted as media for high-energy mechanical
shot peening strengthening, the
advantage that the subsurface strain
hardening effect of the contact strengthening technology is good and the barb-shaped
distribution characteristic of mechanical
shot peening residual compressive stress are utilized, extremely high
residual compressive stress is introduced to the subsurface position, and the
contact fatigue performance of the
tooth surface of the gear is improved. High-frequency
laser shot peening strengthening is used for
secondary treatment, so that the
surface layer of the material is subjected to plastic deformation, high-amplitude
residual compressive stress is introduced into the
surface layer of the material within the depth range of more than 500 microns by utilizing the
advantage of large influence depth of
laser-induced shock
waves, and the residual compressive stress can inhibit fatigue
crack initiation, has a certain depth and inhibits
fatigue crack propagation; and the
bending fatigue resistance of the root of the gear can be effectively improved. And an
abrasive flow process is adopted, so that the roughness is reduced to be more than 0.4 mu m.
