Interview

A Passion About The Measurement Of Residual Stresses

MFN met Michael Braus, the president of Proto Manufacturing for the first time in 2002 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany at the International Conference on Shot Peening. It was inspiring to talk to such an interesting personality and ever since Michael has not only written a number of articles for MFN, but is also co-author of the book "Shot Peening". MFN took the chance to ask some more questions.
