Influence of grinding and shot-peening on the near-surface microstructure of a maraging stainless steel

The near-surface properties of maraging steels are key to controlling their mechanical properties. They can be tailored by surface treatments such as shot peening and can also be influenced by prior machining. This study aims at determining the respective roles of grinding and shot peening processes on the near-surface microstructure of Custom 465 maraging stainless steel. A combination of experimental techniques, including X-ray diffraction...
