Metals: Pioneering Materials unravels the histories of different metals, investigates their origins and identifies the reasons why they have come to surround us in contemporary life.

Laser Shock Peening (LSP) is a cold, mechanical process of metal components.. By producing a deep compressive residual stress into the material, LSP improves fatigue life, increase resistance to stress corrosion and cracking/corrosion of treated component.
