International Conference on Shot Peening

Hill Engineering is delivering a keynote presentation about the measurement of residual stresses near the surface of peened metals at the upcoming 13th International Conference on Shot Peening (ICSP-13) in Montreal, Canada. The purpose of this conference is to foster exchanges between academic and industrial scientists on processes inducing beneficial residual stress, as well as their effects, with an emphasis on traditional shot peening. Processes like deep rolling, laser peening, ultrasonic peening, cavitation peening, flapper peening and needle peening also fit within the conference’s scope. Hill Engineering’s presentation will include a summary of recent work demonstrating the use of measurements to quantify the near surface residual stress state and to understand its impact on material performance. The abstract text is presented below. Continue reading International Conference on Shot Peening

AFGROW User Workshop
