Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: Every shot peener distorts components—if only in the form
of Almen strips. They would be useless if they didn’t distort!
Distortion is caused by a combination of plastic deformation
and induced residual stresses. Force, rigidity and bending
moment determine the amount of distortion. This article
aims to explain, for non-experts, how distortion in a shot
peened component develops.
