Not sure if I used the right photo or not. I also uploaded Hearstbuilding01.JPG, and Hearstbuilding03.JPG as well. --Coro 00:27, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

— Looks like stone?

Shot-peened aluminium sheet, for example, resembles white stone, and was used in the expansion of the Hearst Memorial Mining Building at the University of California, Berkeley.

If you follow the link to the mining building page it specifically says that the aluminum sheet and modern design were chosen to separate the new part of the building from the old, not because they look alike. And they don't look alike, anyway, see the pic. Romana 19:57, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to see a before and after comparison shot of a smaller part. The building doesn't do anything for me, it's just... a building. Karanne (talk) 02:31, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shotpeener.com includes the publication, The Shot Peener. Although the website and magazine are produced by a company that also makes controls and gages for shot peening, many articles are written by academic researchers and other unbiased authors. It should be watched for self-promotional material but not dismissed because the publisher is in the business. Wilhkar (talk) 16:59, 27 February 2010 (UTC) Wilhkar[reply]

Agreed. The Shot Peener has covered a huge variety of topics related to shot peening and blast cleaning since its foundation in 1986 (theshotpeenermagazine.com). Past issues can be downloaded for free from the magazine website while the shotpeener.com website has an extensive library with a search function for specific topics. Another magazine which sometimes has useful articles on peening is Metal Finishing News (MFN) (mfn.li).CSK45Kays (talk) 12:38, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm having a bit of heartburn with this sentence: "Shot peening is often called for in aircraft repairs to relieve tensile stresses built up in the grinding process and replace them with beneficial compressive stresses."

I suggest the following instead: "Shot peening is often called for in aircraft repairs to replace the compressive layer lost by the removal of basis material.” (Or something like that)

The following information is based on my working knowledge of aircraft repair and overhaul. I realize it needs to be sourced and may count as independent research.

Shot peening is used extensively in aircraft repairs. However, it is used for fatigue life extension. Repaired areas (blended, ground etc.) have the compressive layer removed, so it’s important to put it back. As for residual stress after grinding, that was mitigated with a stress relief bake. However, we found it to be un-necessary and no longer perform that additional processing step. Alister 77 (talk) 18:47, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The contents of the Cut wire shot page were merged into Shot peening on 16 August 2016. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

Merger proposal

I propose that

Starting from scratch, how big should the "Steel belt" section of the shot peening article be? I would suggest, not very. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:39, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• • Maybe merge to
    Steel Belt instead, as the application has more relevance than the process. Also note that Steel Belt Shot Peening is an article that has been and gone once already. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:43, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply

I'd be curious to see a better image and description of exactly what kind of "deformation" we're talking about here. I mean, how does one shot-peen a gear? They are required to be smooth surfaces to mate properly, and grinding them afterwards would defeat the purpose. Are we talking about shot-peening the SIDES of spur gears, not the teeth? I don't get it. Also, the opening photo seems pretty pointless...can't see any detail. All I see is a building addition that appears to be made out of metal. I don't see how it's any different from other metal building siding. Also, I don't recall anything in the article about if being used for cosmetic purposes...might be nice if that is indeed the case..45Colt 07:32, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"WPC Treatment"

• It seems like some sort of Shot Peening, but done with Powder it seems?
• It is VERY secretive, but this article had some theories/insight:
  • MotorTrend - Shot Peening & WPC Treatment - Special Treatment, Part 1 - Tech - 2009
• Any of you know more on this? And should it be it's own page, or a sub-category of this i'd imagine?
