Abstract (en)

Provided is a surface treatment method capable of continuously forming a uniform nanocrystalline structure along the surface of a metal product regardless of whether the metal product is hard or soft. In the present invention, a substantially spherical spray powder having a median diameter of 1-20 µm and a fall velocity in the air of 10 sec/m or more is sprayed onto a metal product at a spray pressure of 0.05-0.5 MPa. Thus even when the metal product is made of a soft material in a range from the surface of the metal product to a predetermined depth along the surface, it is possible to form a uniform continuous nanocrystalline structure layer in which nanocrystals are micronized to an average crystal grain size of not more than 300 nm, preferably not more than 100 nm, without forming a laminar worked structure, impart a high compression residual stress of from about -180 MPa up to the order of -1200 MPa, and strengthen the surface of the metal product.
