Shot Peening is used to improve product performance and extend component life. This video tells you what it does and how it does it.

Helicopter Shot Peening Process Griffith Park Helicopter Crash Trial Animation The Bell 205A-1 tail rotor yoke is heat treated, forged 15-5 PH (precipitation hardened) stainless steel with an ultimate tensile strength of 170-200 KSI. The yoke has cross-sections of reduced thickness to allow for flexure, and cadmium plating for corrosion resistance. After the yoke in this case was machined, it underwent a process called "shot peening." This animation depicts the shot peening process - tiny beads are blasted onto the yoke. This process induces residual compressive stresses that impart greater fatigue strength to the yoke. One of the issues in the case was whether this Bell 205A-1 tail rotor yoke had been subjected to shot peening that did not conform to Bell Helicopter Process Specification (BPS) 4409. Inadequate shot peening reduces the residual compressive stress and fatigue strength of the yoke. Baum Hedlund had this animation prepared as one of several to be shown as evidence during the 2006 product liability trial at Los Angeles Superior Court against Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc., and Bell Technical Services, Inc. The trial was conducted by lead trial counsel Ronald L. M. Goldman and J. Clark Aristei of Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman. History: A Bell Model 205A-1 helicopter, owned and operated by the LAFD crashed in Griffith Park during an airlift rescue operation in Los Angeles on March 23, 1998. The helicopter was airlifting an injured child from a car accident when the helicopter's tail rotor yoke failed and caused the aircraft to crash, destroying the helicopter and killing the child, two LAFD paramedics and an LAFD helicopter apparatus operator.

Shot peening is a process in which the surface of a part is bombarded with small spherical media (usually hardened steel) called shot. The result of this process is a uniformly dimpled surface, the roughness being determined by the shot size and the peening intensity. The shot peening process is used to improve the fatigue properties of the part by the introduction of compression forces in the surface layer. The presence of this surface compressive force serves to retard the initiation and growth of fatigue cracks.

Peening a scythe blade.

How we are currently peening Austrian scythe blades Credit must go to Botan Anderson at www.mysticprairie.net and others without who's help I would still be bending the edge over too much. My collaberation with him as been very important to incourage wife and I that It can be fun to work with other experienced people with respect and politenes. Thank you Botan :) If your looking for someone to ask questions and buy quality tools from he's your man, its been like a breath of fresh air dealing with him.

Nicknamed the "Baby Pot" because of the small shot feeding pot system used on this model this 36" x 36" Shot Peen Blast Cabinet is used for camouflaging parts that have been machined to look exactly like the factory finish. Uses a half-sized air filter off to one side which can be moved into a variety of positions depending upon the space available in your shop.

Clearing a dry, overgrown hayfield with an Austrian scythe to create a better pasture for my geese. I'm using an 85cm blade. Notice how cleanly the field can be mown with a scythe.

Testing this Hanwei Bastard sword after the pmmel broke and I repaired it by re-peening the hilt and filling the pommel with molten lead. I added a little crazy music on a whim.
