This new shot treatment could give the smooth surface after shot peening because of using the polished ball bearings. To investigate the effect and the merit of new treatment, fatigue test were conducted on cantilever type rotating bending fatigue testing machine. It was confirmed that fatigue strength peened by ultrasonic shot treatment is almost the same as that peened by conventional air peening device. Further, mechanism of the fracture was confirmed between roughed specimens by conventional peening and the smooth one by ultrasonic peening.
