Abstract:
AT COLLINS MACHINE WORKS, we are always
striving to perform all our work in-house. One of the few
processes we outsourced was shot peening. In January of
2020, our company CEO Robert Twine challenged us to
research and develop a plan to perform shot peening. Our
role previous to this was limited to scheduling the peening
company, performing the 10x visuals of the completed
surfaces, and scanning and saving the paperwork. For the
most part, we knew little of the actual process of shot peening.
We were starting at ground zero with drawing references
pointing to SAE AMS-S-13165 as well as SAE AMS-2430.
Thoroughly reviewing those specs helped us to make our
blast media selection and choose the correct equipment.
