Abstract:  
Paris and Patents Shot peening and Paris. At first thought these words have no relationship at all: One is the international city in the heart of Europe and the other is, well, what is it? Everyone in the world knows Paris, the Eiffel tower and the Arc de triumph. Shot peening, on the other hand, doesn't have an image at all-it's the funny words for a process that you have to explian to family and friends. However different, from September 6th to the 9th, the two came together for the Ninth International Conference on Shot Peening.
