Special Processes
Shot Peening
Shot peening is a cold working process used to produce a compressive residual stress layer and modify the mechanical properties of metals and composites. It entails striking a surface with shot (round metallic, glass, or ceramic particles) with force sufficient to create plastic deformation.
Cold Compression Rolling
This is the process of strengthening the materials by changing its shape without using heat.
Glass Bead Peening
Glass shot conforming to this specification is intended for use in peening of metal surfaces to impart compressive stresses, thereby increasing resistance to fatigue and stress-corrosion cracking. Generally, glass shot may be used where:
- Very low intensities are required because glass shot is available in smaller sizes than other media.
- Very small, under 0.015 inch (0.38 mm) radii or narrow slots are intended to be peened. – Ferrous contamination of peening media is undesirable.
