For manufacturers in aerospace, automotive, energy, oil & gas, railway, and heavy engineering, a properly developed shot peening process can provide repeatable surface treatment while minimizing over-peening, under-peening, media consumption, and production variability.
What Is Industrial Shot Peening Process Development?Shot peening process development is the engineering process of establishing the correct combination of machine parameters and treatment conditions for a particular component.
A typical development program considers:
Component material and geometry
Required fatigue performance
Shot media type and size
Peening intensity
Surface coverage
Nozzle distance and angle
Air pressure or turbine speed
Media flow rate
Component rotation and movement
Exposure time
Fixture design
Process monitoring and inspection
The objective is to develop a repeatable process that produces the required compressive residual stress and surface condition without damaging the component.
