The influence of arc height (Ah), shot radius (R), retained austenite (yR), strain-induced martensite (MQ) and bending stress (Qpre) upon residual compressive stresses was investigated systematically. Residaul compressive stresses were found to be quite dependent on Ah/R, only slightly influenced by yR and hardly affected by MQ content. Approximately, 50% of the applied Qpre was introduced as residual compressive stress. Finally, the amount of induced residual compressive stresses linearly depended on An/R, yR and Qpre.
