A peening method which can sufficiently improve fatigue properties of a lap fillet welded joint having a thin steel sheet as a base sheet, in which a knocking pin having a predetermined shape is continuously knocked as a series of knocking toward a direction inclined relative to the welding direction, the series of knocking is repeatedly performed in the welding direction, at that time, a knocking mark group made of a plurality of knocking marks formed by the series of knocking is superimposed on at least a part of an adjacent knocking mark group while an end part in the direction orthogonal to the welding direction of the knocking mark group is separated from an end part in the direction orthogonal to the welding direction of the adjacent knocking mark group.

Systems for managing abrasive media in cavitated fluid include a set of sensors in communication with cavitated fluid in a processing tank and a processor coupled to the set of sensors. The processor is configured to determine a density of an abrasive media in the cavitated fluid in the processing tank and facilitate maintaining the density of abrasive media in the cavitated fluid in the processing tank at a level that is greater than or equal to a threshold level of abrasive media. The processor is further configured to command the abrasive media addition device to add the recycled abrasive media to the processing tank to increase the density of abrasive media in the cavitated fluid in response to determining that an average density of abrasive media is less than the threshold density of abrasive media.

The present invention relates to the technical field of material processing and provides a method for making a metal material composite, including: contacting a first surface of a first plate with a second surface of a second plate; placing the first plate and the second plate in a recess in a circumferential direction of a first roller such that a third surface of the second plate contacts a bottom wall of the recess in a circumferential, the third surface being opposite the second surface, the first plate having a greater hardness than the second plate; and controlling a first roller and a second roller to rotate, thereby rolling to combine the first plate and the second plate into a composite plate, where a fourth surface of the first plate contacts a surface of the second roller and the fourth surface is opposite the first surface during the rolling. According to the method for making a metal material composite in the present invention, flashings and burr on the side edges of a composite plate are avoided by placing the first plate and the second plate in a recess for machining.

Disclosed herein is a system for surface treating an internal surface of a part. The system comprises a tank within which the part is locatable. The system also comprises a fluid within the tank and capable of submersing the part when the part is located within the tank. The system further comprises a nozzle submersed in the fluid and configured to generate a stream of cavitated fluid directed in a first direction. The system additionally comprises a deflection tool submersed in the fluid and comprising a deflection surface that redirects the stream of cavitated fluid from the first direction to a second direction. The first direction is away from the internal surface of the part and the second direction is toward the internal surface of the part.

Some methods for making a granular material comprise crushing demetallized slag particles with one or more crushers and screening the crushed demetallized slag particles with one or more screens to separate the demetallized slag particles into two or more fractions, the granular material comprising at least one of the fractions of the demetallized slag particles. Prior to the crushing, ones of the demetallized slag particles having a size that is less than or equal to 2 inches can account for at least 90% of the demetallized slag particles. An iron-compound content of the demetallized slag particles, by weight, can be less than or equal to 10%. Crushing and screening can be performed such that ones of the demetallized slag particles of the granular material having a size that is less than or equal to 1.25 mm account for at least 90% of the demetallized slag particles of the granular material.
