Someone with more knowledge of this maybe able to comment more but this 'laser shock processing' thing sounds significant not just for aviation but all fields related to material processing.

【大公網訊】由西安天瑞達光電技術發展有限公司和陜西藍鷹航空電器有限公司共同承建的中國第一條激光衝擊強化生產線,日前在西安閻良國家航空高技術產業基地建成。 Grand】 【inquiry by the network up to Tin Shui Xian Photonics Development Company Limited and Shaanxi WrightEagle Aviation Electrical Appliance Co., Ltd. jointly build China's first laser shock line, a few days ago in Xi'an Yanliang State Aviation built high-tech industry base. 這標誌著中國激光衝擊強化技術向工程化應用邁出了重要一步,使中國成為繼美國之後世界上第二個可實現該項技術工業化應用的國家。 This indicates that China's laser technology to project the impact of strengthening the application of an important step, making China the world after the United States can achieve a second application of the technology of industrialization.
同時,由空軍工程大學、西安天瑞達光電技術發展有限公司和北京鐳寶激光技術有限公司共同研製的「激光衝擊強化成套設備及關鍵技術」,也於日前通過了國家權威鑒定委員會的技術成果鑒定,這些都標誌著中國激光衝擊強化應用技術取得了重大突破。 At the same time, by the Air Force Engineering University, Xi'an up to Tin Shui Photonics Development Co., Ltd. and Beijing Lei Bao Laser Technology Co., Ltd. jointly developed the "laser shock sets of equipment and key technologies" in a few days ago through the identification of the authority of the State Committee Identification of technological achievements, which marked the Chinese laser shock applied technology has made a major breakthrough.
激光衝擊強化技術是利用強激光束產生的等離子衝擊波,提高金屬材料的抗疲勞、耐磨損和抗腐蝕能力的一種高新技術。 Laser technology is to strengthen the impact of the use of laser beam generated by PDP shock wave, the metal material to enhance the anti-fatigue, wear and corrosion resistance of a high-tech. 它與現有的冷擠壓、噴丸等金融材料表面強化手段相比,具有非接觸、無熱影響區、可控性強以及強化效果顯著等突出優點。 With the existing cold extrusion, shot and other financial means to strengthen the surface compared with non-contact, no heat affected zone, controllable, as well as strengthen the strong results, and other significant advantages.
激光衝擊強化技術在美國航空裝備製造與維修以及其他裝備製造業正得到廣泛的應用。 Laser technology in the United States to strengthen the impact of aviation equipment manufacture and maintenance of equipment and other manufacturing industries are being widely used. 美國GE公司已經用此項技術為美國空軍強化了數萬件航空部件,據美國國防部估計,在美國空軍現有飛機壽命期內,用激光衝擊強化可節約60億美元的維修成本。 GE of the United States has used the technology for the U.S. Air Force has strengthened the tens of thousands of pieces of aviation components, according to the U.S. Department of Defense estimates that in the United States Air Force during the life of existing aircraft, laser shock savings of 6,000,000,000 U.S. dollars in maintenance costs. 2004年,美國還為F22戰鬥機建設了價值2億美元的激光衝擊強化生產線。 In 2004, the United States F22 fighter for the construction of 200,000,000 U.S. dollars worth of laser shock line.
此次中國激光衝擊強化應用技術取得重大突破,對解決中國飛機發動機疲勞斷裂問題、提高其可靠性將具有重大的意義。 China's laser technology applications to strengthen the impact of a major breakthrough to solve the problem of fatigue fracture Chinese aircraft engine problems and improve its reliability will be of great significance.
