ABSTRACT:
A method for quality assurance of a laser process and, more particularly, a laser shock peening process that uses a ballistic momentum apparatus for maintaining quality control of a laser shock peening process that uses a laser includes a movable target mass having a laser target face and confined to freely move in one direction. An indicating means indicates a maximum distance traversed by the target mass during a recoil from firing of the laser on the target face. An ablative coating is preferably applied on at least a portion of the face and preferably a transparent confinement medium, such as a flow of water, is applied over the ablative coating.
