produce a compressive residual stress layer and modify mechanical properties of metals. It entails impacting a surface with shot (round metallic, glass, or ceramic particles) with force sufficient to create plastic deformation. It is similar to sandblasting, except that it operates by the mechanism of plasticity rather than abrasion: each particle functions as a ball-peen hammer. In practice, this means that less material is removed by the process, and less dust created.
lengths approximately the same size as the width of the wire. The resulting wire is then rounded to remove the sharp edges. It has many shape such as Cylindrical, Rounded , Spherical.
particles with sharp edges. Produces uniform results due to its consistency in size, shape, and hardness. More durable (longer life) than cast steel, glass, and ceramic shot. Available in carbon steel and stainless steel. Ability to achieve the highest intensity. Easiest to maintain spherical particles.
Disadvantages
High material cost Limited sizes
Disadvantages
It has prepared difficult more than cut wire shot. High material cost and Limited sizes.
Steel shot
Steel shot are created by atomizing molten steel, then
heat treating and sieving the resulting material. Such as Cast steel beads, Hi-Carbon steel beads, Stainless steel beads, etc.
Ceramic shot
In this days have 2 type that used, there are Glass shot Zirshot
Glass shot Zirshot
Glass shot
Glass shot is created by atomizing molten soda lime, then
Disadvantages More difficult than steel media to maintain spherical particles Less durable than steel and ceramic media
Zirshot
Zirshot is ceramic shot that have compound between
steel : process versatility. Smooth surface : not abrasive Round shape : high peening ability Chemically inert : no contamination High mechanical strength and hardness level : high impact efficiency, weak consumption rate

(20-200 m in diameter) thrown against metal surfaces at speeds of more than 100 m/sec. The typical hardness of FPSP media, which can be metallic, ceramic or glass, is 750-1000 HV. The machine used in the process is a modified pneumatic shot peening system. Like conventional shot peening. FPSP improves fatigue strength and stress corrosion fracture resistance. Its greatest additional benefit is that it produces a very smooth surface finish.
applications.
or close-tolerance areas Will not distort close-tolerance parts Will not damage soft or fragile parts
Fine particle shot peening disadvantages Limited availability in U.S. and Europe. Media can be difficult to use and few equipment and media manufacturers are experienced with it. Limited depth of compression might make it unsuitable for some applications.
Company have patented a fine particle peening process that they market to the Japanese automotive. They have licensed this technology to over 130 companies and 80% of these are Japanese auto and auto part manufacturers. Japan also has a FPSP Society. It has several papers for research and development FPSP such as Fatigue Property Enhancement by Fine Particle Shot Peening for Aircraft Aluminum Parts by A. Inoue,T. Sekigawa and K. Oguri with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries presented According to the abstract :
increased by several times, while that of FPSP aluminum was increased by more than 10 times compared with that of asmachined. The compressive residual stress on FPSP surface covered adequately with uniform dimples is higher than that on shot-peened surface. Fracture surface observation revealed that the fatigue crack of FPSP samples originate at the subsurface layer, which shows the high compressive residual stress at very near the surface and the lessroughened surface prevents crack initiation from the surface. FPSP can improve fatigue life more than shot peening, which shows fatigue crack initiates from small flaws and laps on the surface created by shot peening.
