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.
