Abstract:
Although shot peening is an old technology, it has been revived in the Japenese automotive industry as a means to enhance the fatigue durability of steel components. Particular emphasis is on the application of "hard shot peening". "Hard shot peening" is a high intensity peening technology which results in a higher magnitude of compressive residual stress and therefore greater fatigue resistance than conventional shot peening.
The first area of development was in high performance carburizing steels suitable for hard shot peening. Desirable traits were enhanced by reducing the carburizing anomalies resulting from intergranular oxidation and by the enhancing of case toughness. Further improvement of fatigue resistance has been accomplished by dual peening, first with hard shot followed by smaller diameter steel shot at a lower intensity.
This paper also describes the development of long life shot media for hard shot peening.
