Abstract

See full text

A connecting rod for a vehicle and a method of laser peening a connecting rod. The connecting rod defines a pin opening at a first end and a cylindrical bore at a second end. A clear coating is applied on a first target surface and a second target surface of the connecting rod. The first and second opposing target surfaces are impinged in a localized area between the pin opening and the cylindrical bore with a plurality of pulses of pulsed laser beams. After laser peening, the localized area between the pin opening and the cylindrical bore exhibits compressive residual stresses at a depth of up to 0.75 millimeters.
