The fatigue life can be improved considerably by improving the surface finish with polishing One of the most effective methods of increasing fatigue life is to make the component surface have a residual compressive stress. This is because the fatigue failure is usually caused by external tensile stress on the surface. The residual compressive stress can offset some of the tensile stress to reduce the possibility of fatigue failureThe residual compressive stress can be made by
