Abstract:
Metal Fatigue, Corrosion Fatigue and Stress Corrosion Cracking are the catastrophic modes of metal failure that can be significantly delayed or even avoided by the use of Controlled Shot Peening. This process is often applied to new airframe, engine and landing gear components but it is being increasingly used at overhaul to restore compression to metal surfaces that have been subjected to high cycles and /or stresses, corrosion, wear, fretting, etc.
