Level 1 is the minimum requirement for shot peen operators and is the foundation for level 2. The level 1 course provides training in peening workshop operations & inspections. Introduction to Peening: Fundamental theory; History; Applications. Intensity L1: An understanding of Intensity; how it is determined and verified in production. Coverage: Coverage & saturation; Coverage inspection methods. Coverage rates / media size; Influencing parameters. Procedures: Required documentation and "walk-through" of the peening process. Masking: Types available; selection criteria; application and removal methods. Peening Media L1: Types & uses; Size analysis; Sieve test. LEVEL 2 (INTERMEDIATE) Level 2 is the minimum requirement for shot peen supervisors & technicians. Level 2 builds on the knowledge gained in level 1 to provide further capability in: Intensity L2: Intensity & stress depth; Constructing a sat curve; Analyzing saturation curves; Shaded strips & hole peening. Preparing for Audits: Types & level of audit; What to expect during audits; Preparing for audit. Peening Machines & Equipment 1: Air peen; Standard nozzles; Special Nozzles. Peening Machines & Equipment 2: Wheel peening machine; Media recovery & separation. Peening Media L2: Manufacturing & procurement specifications; Durability test. Flap Peening: Applications; Set-up & calculations; Demonstration. LEVEL 3 (ADVANCED) Level 3 is the recommended standard for auditors, trainers & specifying engineers Level 3 provides greater breadth and depth of knowledge to enhance the competence gained from the previous levels. Residual Stresses & their Measurement: Definition of stresses; Measurement Techniques and their Limitations ; "Walk-through" of X-Ray Diffraction technique. Fatigue in Metals: Fracture mechanics; Stress intensity factor; S-N curves, Fatigue measurement; Fatigue life & Limit Optimization Of Shot Peening. Fatigue Considerations; Surface finish effects; Pre-stressed Peening; Secondary peening. Peen Forming & Shape Correction: Metal growth; Selecting growth areas; Applications; Limitations. New Technologies: Laser Shock Processing; Ultra-sonic peening; Cavitation peening. Conducting audits for Peening: Selecting criteria; Adequacy / compliance Customer requirements. GENERAL INFORMATION Repetition & Questions Will depend on the specific requirements and means of the class. Can be used for repetition, questions, hands-on training, etc. Optional Test for Certificate of Achievement Participants who pass this optional test receive a certificate containing the FAA Reg. No. issued for the approval of this course Students are recommended to start with level 1 to provide a suitable foundation for subsequent levels. Tests for level 2 & 3 certification shall contain questions on previous level content. Certification for level 2 can only be awarded to level 1 holders. Certification for level 3 can only be awarded to level 2 holders. « back |
