Dear Sir or Madam.

I have an idea: the method of obtaining a small grain size (recrystallization) on any alloy surface using a special modification of the shot peening method as a part of whole procedure.
This idea is based on my many years experience in severe plastic deformation field (in Russian Academy of Sciences). The realization of this method should improve corrosion and fatigue resistance and this method seems to be very effective (for instance) in medical implants manufacturing industry.

If you are interested to learn more from me about this idea, please let me know.

I did only partial patent search and asked several professors in Colorado School of Mines and did not find any info about something similar.
