Shot peening is a cold work process that uses small hard spheres or "shot" to impact a metal part's surface, creating overlapping dimples that induce compressive stresses. These compressive stresses inhibit crack initiation and propagation, increasing the part's fatigue strength. Components like springs, gears and turbine blades are commonly shot peened to extend their lifetimes by 500-1000%.

Shot peening
Dr. Dmitri Kopeliovich

Shot peening is a cold work process, in which the


metal part is struck by a stream of small hard spheres
(shot) creating numerous overlapped dimples on the
part surface.
The surface material resists to stretching induced by
the shots impacts resulting in a formation of a
compression stressed skin of about 0.01” (0.25 mm)
thickness.

Glass, steel or ceramic balls of a diameter from the


range 0.007-0.14” (0.18-0.36 mm) are used as shot
media.

The residual compression stresses inhibits both crack


initiation and propagation. Therefore shot peening is
used mainly for increasing fatigue strength.

Dimples formed on a part surface as a result of shot


peening may serve as lubricant “pockets”, which
provide continuous lubrication of the part preventing galling.
Steels, nodular (ductile) cast irons, Aluminum alloys, Nickel alloys and Titanium alloys may be treated by
shot peening.

The properties, which may be increased by shot peening:

■ fatigue strength
■ Stress corrosion cracking
■ Corrosion fatigue
■ Resistance to Intergranular corrosion
■ Galling resistance

■ Wear resistance.

The components, which are normally shot peened: springs, wheels, turbine parts (blades, shafts), marine
propellers, aircraft wings, internal combustion engine parts (valves, gears, crankshafts, connecting rods,
pistons, cylinder heads).
Shot peening may increase the components life by 500-1000%.
