Shot Peening & Flap Peening Process Control

Understand shot peening and portable flap peening process control, intensity verification, saturation curves and equipment for repeatable surface enhancement.

Technical overview

Shot peening improves fatigue resistance by creating controlled compressive residual stress at a component surface. Flap peening applies the same control principles with a portable rotary tool for localized work and repair.

Applications and process control

A qualified process depends on more than the machine: media condition, coverage, exposure time, impact angle and intensity must remain controlled and documented. Peening Accessories supplies the measurement and verification tools used by production teams and shot peening workshops.

  • Verify peening intensity with standardized test strips and gages.
  • Use saturation curves to establish the correct exposure time.
  • Monitor media quality, coverage and repeatability.
  • Support localized aerospace maintenance with portable flap peening tools.
