Abstract:  
United Kingdom. USF Vacu-Blast International, part of the USF Surface Preparation Group, has developed a self-contained, "universal" shot peening machine, capable of processing an extensive range of fan blades, discs and shafts from most aeroengines in current service in both the civil and defence aviation sectors. The machine improves the fatigue resistance of these critical parts, in line with aeroengine manufacturers' specifications, and can be used for both production and repair/overhaul applications.
