INTRODUCTION

The shot peening process is a cold working

process, and surface treatment method that
increases the surface hardness of metallic
materials by creating a sharp compressive stress
due to ball impact on the material surface

• Each ball impacting on the metallic surface as a small
hammer, increasing the hardness of the surface,
creating a small indentation or semi-sphere.
• To create these indents the metal surface must undergo
a mechanical limit above its yield stress.
• Due to overlapping of indentations a uniform layer of
compressive stress is generated on the metal surface.
Shot Peening Work
The effect produced by shot peening :
• Surface pitting due to the impact of the shot
• Work-hardening of a thin surface layer
• The formation of compressive residual stress
improve the fatigue life.
 Why shot peening used?
• Shot peening is applied to
improve the fatigue
resistance of metallic
components and can
• Residual stress are generated
increase lifespan,
by plastic deformation applied

Stress

 Residual Stress are those stresses remaining in a part after all manufacturing
operations are completed and with no external load applied
 Residual stress can be either tensile or compressive
 Residual stress can be beneficial or detrimental, depending on the sign,
magnitude, and distribution of these stresses
Shot Peening Work
 Factor Affecting Shot peening

1. The shot Velocity

2. Shot size and type
3. Impact angle
4. Distance between nozzle and surface
5. The exposure time
 Shot velocity

• The kinetic energy of

the shot increases with
the square of the
velocity so that high
deformation energies
can easily be obtained
by increasing the shot
velocity.
• Impact velocities
ranging between 40 and
70 m/s
 Shot size and type
• Using large steel shot it is often found
that the maximum of the compressive
residual stresses lies below the
surface whereas the maximum lies
directly on the surface when using
small shot.
• In addition, this behavior is strongly
dependent on the material and its
work hardening capabilities.

Shot peening is typically performed with

rounded cast steel, cut steel wire (usually
conditioned), ceramic or glass particles
(SAE Standard AMS2431,2010)

 Experiment Conclusion

1. These surface irregularities generated by the shot peening process cause a

significant increase in surface roughness and consequently an increase in
the contact area with the medium, which should have contributed to the
decrease in corrosion resistance
2. Besides, the samples of AISI430 stainless steel treated with shot peening
showed a more hydrophilic behavior, compared with the others samples,
which contributes to the increase of the reactive surface in relation to the
other samples.
3. Considering the microscopic analysis of samples after a potentiodynamic
polarization test, it was not possible to observe the presence of pits in the
sample treated with shot peening due to its high surface roughness. On the
other hand, for the bare sample and sanded sample the presence of pitting
was observed.
