Abstract:  
THE CONTINUOUS SEARCH for performance enhancement and energy savings in the use of mechanical components drives many industries to employ harder and stronger metallic alloys, combined with the design of lighter parts and complex shapes. Shot peening, one of the most efficient surface treatment processes to enhance mechanical strength and reduce weight, has evolved and adapted to these new generations of metallic alloys.
