Abstract:  
Jodhpur, India - Shot peening is the mechanical operation of introducing residual compressive surface stress on mechanical parts which are subjected to dynamic conditions like turbine blades, springs, etc. The compressive stress so produced increases fatigue life and stress corrosion resistance properties of shot peened parts. The process of shot peening is accomplished by propelling spherical shots on such parts with controlled parameters.
