Abstract:  
It is my opinion that for perhaps too many of you out there, blasting is a well-kept secret. How many people realize that an end product goes through so many processes and treatments to function and to look the way it does? In this column, we frequently speak about shot peening and its contribution to society: that shot peening relieves residual stress and improves the performance of critical aircraft engine components that provide for the safety and well-being of all of us who fly. We trust that the important aircraft parts have been manufactured correctly and, just as important, maintained in a timely and correct manner.
