Tooling and a method of employing tooling (90, 130) to produce beneficial stress waves in a substrate (132) to provide high fatigue life structures. Stress waves (159, 152) are provided to work a substrate, causing dimples (170) in the workpiece, along a uniform pressure profile in the workpiece. By use of the method, uniform beneficial residual stress is provided at surface and midplane apertures in a workpiece, so as to improve overall fatigue life. An improved tool shape (92) is described, having a smooth curve, rather than a flat punch. Also, the use of a consumable wafer (W) provides additional uniform stress profile benefits.
