Abstract

A water jet peening device includes a sealed vessel provided to cover a surface of a welded portion, and adapted to be in a sealed state where an internal pressure is higher than an outside, a jet nozzle adapted to jet high-pressure water to create a cavitation bubble toward the surface of the welded portion, inside the sealed vessel, and a pressure control hole adapted to be able to adjust the internal pressure of the sealed vessel. The water jet peening device can efficiently reform a tensile residual stress on the surface of the welded portion to a compressive residual stress.
