Abstract: With the development of Chinese industry, shot peening technology is widely used in machinery manufacturing industry in China in recent decade. This paper gives a brief introduction of development of shot peening industry in China, which includes shot peening equipment and peening media manufacturing, process planning about shot peening and application fields of different types of shot peening. In terms of basic research of shot peening, this paper summarizes some notable research results about stress strengthening and microstructure strengthening of shot peening, influence of shot peening on fatigue life of specific material, resistance to some forms of stress corrosion and so on. Furthermore, application of conventional shot peening treatment on advanced materials, new shot peening technique and computer modeling technique about shot peening process also develop very rapidly in China.
