Abstract:
The statistical nature of surface coverage during shot peening is often misunderstood. In some instances, process and design engineers will specify "200% coverage" or more
without a clear definition of what is meant by percent coverage or how to achieve it. This paper will attempt to clarify important aspects of the surface coverage process.
A combination of analytical, experimantal and numerical results are presented to illustrate the difference between 1) area of strike ratio, 2) coverage ratio and 3) percent
coverage. In addition, a computer program is presented that allows the user to experiment with peening process parameters an observe the effects of the same.
