We are re-engineering an improved version of a Ø 12" steel shaft. It is part of an assembly with an interference fitted hub that likely causes fretting in a region of maximum reverse bending and fairly constant torsional stress.
As usual, the details of the true history of fracture failure of these shafts is hard to dredge up.
I am confident well done shot peening will help, but am thinking a rolling process could induce even deeper compressive stress, which could be even better . Standards abound for Shotpeening intensity, methods , process control, and so on. It probably helps that I've been working with shotpeening for a few score years.
==============.
Information on surface rolling as a process is proving much harder to come by.
My question - Does anyone know of any technical info that might help quantify a rolling process for these shafts?
