The effects of different shot peening conditions such as pressure (from 68.9-551.6 kPa), media type (media S230 and S110) and double shot peening on the microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of shot peened AISI 4340 low-alloy steels, were systematically investigated. Their surface topography, hardness and roughness were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, a Vickers microhardness tester and surface profilometer, respectively, while the cross-sectional sub-surface structures of the as-received and shot peened samples were characterized by means of optical microscopy and nanoindentation. The tribological properties were determined by using a ball-on-disc microtribological tester. It was shown that shot peening pressure and media type had a significant effect on the surface roughness, hardness, microstructure, wear resistance and friction of the shot peened AISI 4340 steel samples. It also indicated that the double shot peening process was a promising treatment, not only to reduce the surface roughness of the material after undergoing the first shot peening process with large media and high intensity, but to improve the tribological properties of the shot peened material.
