		Shot peening is an important and, for safety reasons, an essential process in many industrial sectors, primarily in the aerospace and automotive industries.
		Peening dates back to Bronze Age armourers; although in more recent years, this technique has been used by engineers who worked the surface of a component with a "ball peen hammer" in order to induce internal compressive stress and thus increase service life.
		Shot blasting media classification, which classifies the media by shape and size, is an important point in shot peening or compression-shot-blasting.

		Shot peening must be done when the part is cold, not hot, and the surface must be fully covered with ball strikes for it to be effective.
		Shot peening caught on quickly during the 1950s, spreading to aircraft and machine parts as well as automobiles, but knowledge of it was still mostly confined to specialists.
		Today’s options include peening with a laser, lance peening (in which a slender nozzle is inserted into deep-bored holes to shot-peen their inner surfaces), peening to produce aesthetically pleasing surfaces or to reduce or control friction in specific ways, and multiple rounds of peening with successively smaller shot, to make a surface even harder.

	Shot Peening
		Shot peening is a cold working process applied to the surface of metal parts to increase their resistance to fatigue failure, stress corrosion cracking, galling and fretting.
		The shot peening process involves bombarding the surface of the part with a high velocity stream of tiny balls manufactured from steel, glass or ceramic that are as hard as, or harder than, the surface being peened.
		When complete shot peening coverage is achieved, the plastic deformation of the surface forms a layer of compressive stress which will counter any tensile stresses near the surface and prevent any cracks from enlarging.

	Shot Blasting Intro; Blast-Abrade, Inc.
		The blast wheel impeller and blades are revolving at 3600 RPM's and propel the steel shot from 250 to 300 ft. per second.
		The blast cabinet performs two purposes; one is to support the wheels and second to contain the steel shot within a confined area and recover it back to the primary storage hopper.
		After the steel shot is thrown from the blast wheel and strikes the parts, it falls to the bottom of the machine and is recovered via a screw conveyor and bucket elevator system.

	Shot Peening
		Although the process of Shot Peening has evolved and become very technical, it still employs the age-old principles of pre-stressing and work-hardening a material to create a harder and more durable material.
		As the Shot Peening is performed, the atoms on the surface of the metal become crowded and try to restore the metal's original shape by pushing outward.
		The tensile stresses, resulting from Shot Peening, deep in the part are not as problematic as tensile stresses on the surface because cracks are less likely to start on the interior.

	Automotive materials engineering - shot peening of aluminum alloy
		Shot peening of Al alloys is commonly performed on aircraft parts to be hard anodized.
		The shot peening induces residual compressive stresses to compensate for the decrease in fatigue life due to the relatively brittle anodic coating.
		Shot peening can also eliminate anodizing defects due to the presence of primary solidification intermetallic phases.* The shot peening breaks up the intermetallics within the near-surface Al matrix to a small enough size so as to not blister the subsequent hard anodizing, and is a common procedure for helicopter manufacturers.
