WHAT IS SHOT PEENING
Shot peening is a metal working process which enhances the surfaces
of a variety of different materials.
Various manufacturing processes used throughout the aerospace,
aircraft, automotive, energy, and heavy equipment industries can
produce tensile stresses on the surface of components. These
processes include milling, turning, drilling, welding, severe grinding,
heat treating, bending, and forming. The tensile stress left behind on
the surface provides a perfect environment for a cracking to start
forming, reducing the life of these components.
Shot peening is performed by accelerating spherical media toward the
surface of a part. When the media hits the part, a small dent is formed,
stretching the surface of the part. The material surrounding that dent
resists this, and creates an area of compressive stress. When the surface
of the part has these small dents all over the surface, there is a
continuous layer of compressive stress on the surface of the part. This
replaces the tensile stress on the surface with a compressive layer. The
compressive layer stops the fatigue cracks and stress corrosion that
typically start at the surface of the part.
