Abstract:  
The shot peening process has been increasingly employed as one means of improving the endurance reliability of automotive parts. While the effect of shot peening for springs has been widely known, a recent technological development is the powerful shot peening process called "hard shot peening", which is applied to parts of high hardness, such as transmission gears. This paper introduces a newly developed shot peening machine which is capable of performing reliable "hard shot peening" by monitoring the peening process with various sensors.
