Shot peening applications

Application of surface treatments such as shot peening, nitriding of steels and sandblasting of the surface of metal or others producing constraints of compression are beneficial.1... [Pg.420]

Shot peening, defined as shot blasting with small steel balls driven by a blast of air, is a method of removing defects for highly critical anchors, and is specifically recommended for use on anchors subjected to high-cycle fatigue. It is not deemed necessary for other applications. [Pg.15]

Shot peening may be considered as the most versatile of aU cold-working treatments, being applicable to virtually all metals and shapes. It consists on... [Pg.162]

Application of passive films can in some cases reduce the probability of stress corrosion cracking. Conversion coatings may help to protect surfaces against initiation of stress corrosion cracking and eventually reduce the requirement for more costly remedies (annealing, shot peening, etc.). [Pg.334]

To retain the lubricants and thus prevent corrosion, the surfaces of a piece of equipment can be roughened by shot blasting (very fine), blast peening, or application of various porous surfactants (electrodeposited porous metals, clad porous metals, anodizing, phosphatizing, ceramic deposition, or lining).
