As some of you might know by now I'm currently designing stress peening machine for leaf springs. The machine has some jigs where the leaves are placed in a stressed position. This means that these jigs will be shot peened many times and therefore they have to be able to whitstand this kind of punishment. The jigs I've designed are basically made of rectangular plates and cylindrical rods with standarized diameters. And everything is welded together. However I wish to know if someone here could recommend a specific type of material for this purpose. Someone told me about high chrome-vandanium alloys and someone recommended me this
www.hardsteel.net . Does anyone here have any recommendations? They would be greatly appreciated.
