This specification establishes the engineering requirements for computer monitored peening of parts surfaces. This procedure is used typically to provide a means by which the shot peening process can be performed repeatedly on parts in order to satisfy material component design requirements, but usage is not limited to such applications. Shot peening locations used for intensity verification (Almen test strip locations), media type, media size and peening intensities shall be as specified by the cognizant engineering organization. When any of these parameters are not specified, they shall be established in accordance with 3.2.8 of this specification and listed as process control parameters in accordance with 3.7. Processes, such as tumble peening, slurry peening, peen forming and straightening, peening for prevention of intergranular corrosion, and peening to produce a surface texture, are recognized but their requirements are not covered.
