Hi,

Although the level of compressive residual stresses is very dependable on the type of material, heat treatment (if any) and shot intensity, the shallow depth of a 20-40 micrometers is very important. The maximum compressive residual stresses are tend to be in this range and the more material that you cut away from the surface the more that you minimizing this beneficial layer.
