Shot Peening is the most cost effective and practical method of inducing surface residual compressive stresses which enhance performance and extend the life of critical components. Shot Peening is the bombardment of a surface with small high quality spherical media called shot. Each piece of shot striking the metal acts as a tiny peening hammer imparting a small indentation or dimple on the surface. The action of impinging the surface yields the material in tension but further movement is restrained by the core and a surface residual compressive stress results. The magnitude of the compressive stress is directly related to the base materials yield strength and is approximately equal to 80% of that value in compression.
