Shot Peening

Shot peening is a controlled cold-working process used to introduce compressive residual stress at a component surface. Reliable results depend on controlling the complete process rather than any single machine setting.

Process fundamentals

Learn how media, velocity, impact angle, coverage and part geometry influence the treated surface and the repeatability of the process.

Control and verification

Almen intensity, saturation curves, coverage assessment, media quality and machine checks provide the evidence needed to keep production within specification.

Training and technical knowledge

MFN workshops and the E-Archive connect practical instruction with published case studies, research and industry experience.
