Abstract:  
Authors Rolf Clausen, Jurgen Stangenberg, Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg, Hamburg, Germany Abstract A device was developed for the determination of impact velocities of shot-peened grains impinging workpiece surfaces. The impact velocity of shot-peened grains can be used as explanation of the characteristics of the workpiece changes, like roughness, tension or surface coverage. Also, modifications of these changes due to variation of shot peening parameters (shot peening media, jet parameter, jet direction) can be detected and evaluated.
