Abstract:
The “History of Shot Peening Specifications” was presented by Jack Champaigne at the Ninth International Conference on Shot Peening. Mr. Champaigne has extensive experience
with shot peening specifications. He has been a member of the Surface Enhancement Division of SAE since 1985 and currently serves as Committee Chairman of the Surface
Enhancement Division of SAE. (SAE International, through the voluntary work of more than 7,000 committee members and participants like Mr. Champaigne, maintains over 8,300
technical standards and related documents.) In addition, Mr. Champaigne is president of Electronics Inc. (EI)—EI manufactures valves, controls, gages and test strips for the
shot peening industry that meet spec requirements from standard MIL specifications to rigid aerospace specifications. He also shares his spec expertise at EI’s workshops and
on-site training programs. In future articles, Mr. Champaigne will share what it is like to work within the SAE to create and update specs. We will also discuss the good and
bad aspects of specifications: At best, specifications impose much-needed controls and guidelines on the shot peening process. At worst, there are too many specs, many are
out-dated, some are poorly
written. “The History of Shot Peening Specifications” lays the foundation for The Shot Peener's exploration of specs and their impact on
your business.
ABSTRACT
The history of shot peening specifications is presented in a chronological format with prelude of situations existing in 1940. The specifications
cited are of US origin and in the public domain (i.e. no proprietary specifications such as GE or Boeing are cited). Some specifications relating to media have been excluded
for brevity.
