Introduction Repeatable and accurate shot peening results rely on closed-loop monitoring and control of critical process parameters. Fundamentally, the transfer of energy during shot peening
Introduction Shot peening rarely attracts attention outside specialist circles, yet it quietly protects the parts that matter most. When an aircraft structure survives a long
Introduction Accurate hardness testing is critical for quality control in shot peening and related processes. SAE-J422 dictates using Rockwell to measure hardness (HRc for A
Shot peening is one of the most established surface enhancement processes in aerospace engineering because its underlying mechanism is well understood and industrially robust. Repeated
Technical support in our industry often follows a familiar pattern. You discover an issue with your peening machine. You call EI, and troubleshooting begins over
INTRODUCTION A ’state of the union’ assessment is essential every few years and starts with identifying our starting point, followed by tracing our path to
My introduction to shot peening was not exactly traditional. I joined EI as an intern and spent my first two years in research and development
