An embodiment includes a method, comprising: applying an overlay material to a portion of a rotatable shaft; directing a pulse of laser energy to contact the overlay material to produce a shock wave; and re-positioning one or more of the portion of the rotatable shaft and the pulse of laser energy to contact the overlay material at different positions to create a laser peened surface on the portion of the rotatable shaft; the pulse of laser energy comprising a pulse sufficient to create the laser peened surface having residual compressive stress to a depth exceeding about 3 mm. Other aspects are described and claimed. |
