Developing a Peening Process Specification

摘要

Specifications can be broadly classified into two categories - (a) process and (b) monitoring. Process specifications are determined after thorough testing of the component and conducting tests for failure and residual compressive stress. This is directly related to the component and its expected life term. Monitoring specifications are more involved and are created after years of equipment use, a thorough knowledge of the process, and an understanding of its evolution. The shot peening industry relies on a few select specifications such as AMS and MIL for monitoring information.
