Abstract:  
1999 Clemco Industries Corp. Reprinted with permission As most managers and technicians have discovered, every new application for shot peening comes complete with its own set of unique obstacles. Just when you perfect the process for one part, your customer (or your boss) brings in new parts, made from unusual materials and manufactured in bizarre shapes that seem to defy effective shot peening. Don't panic, just yet. Over the years, I've seen people create tools and techniques that range from the obvious to the ingenious, all in the service of the twin gods of peening-coverage and intensity.
