| Audit & Inspection Preparation |
Kumar Balan |
Have you ever wondered or worried about what will happen during an audit
of your shot peen process? This class will guide you through the before, during and after of the
typical Audit. You will be able to prepare your team for the day before the Audit, the inspection
of equipment, paperwork, media, and proficiency of the operators in the shot peen process. We will
cover from the beginning to the end and include plans for a possible follow-up Audit if needed.

| Flapper Peening and Applications |
Dave Barkley |
Flapper Peening aids in spot repair (re-peening) and small part peening
without requiring a blast cabinet or having to send a part back out to a job shop. This class offers
the history and current practices of Flapper Peening. Procedure, intensity, coverage, standards and
equipment are all covered in this presentation. A supplemental hands-on class is also offered (see
schedule) for those willing to take an extended look into this emerging peening technology.
50 minutes
A FAA certification exam is offered for this class but candidates must also attend and pass
the "Flapper Peening Practical" course. |
| Flapper Peening Lab and Practical |
Dave Barkley |
This is a supplemental class to the "Flapper Peening Theory and Applications"
course. This class is hands-on and students can test their technique by generating a saturation curve
via Flapper Peening. Since testing can be time consuming, students taking the Flapper Peening exam have
preferential treatment with the equipment. Flapper Peening demonstrations will also be available during
Trade Show breaks on Wednesday.
60 minutes or as needed
A FAA certification exam is offered for this class but candidates must also attend and pass the
"Flapper Peening Theory and Applications" course. |
| Intensity Saturation Curve Practice |
Jack Champaigne |
In this advanced practice session you will learn how to construct
and interpret the saturation curve properly. Several practice examples are included. Second session
contains an example of how to use EI's FREE Curve Solver Add-in program
50 minutes
This class is a prerequisite for certification exam Level 1 |
| Media Size and Shape Inspection |
Lim Poon Chai
Dave Barkley |
Every specification for peening media requires inspection for proper shape
and size. Students will be inspecting media for proper shape using images from microscopes showing samples
of good and bad media. They will also see how to perform a basic sieve test to inspect media size.

| Peening Applications |
Dr. John Cammett |
Describes how welded joints, gears, springs, axles, landing
gears and many other components benefit from peening.
50 minutes |
| Peening Coverage and Masking |
Dr. John Cammett |
Coverage, too much or too little can be detrimental. Learn how to measure and
control coverage by evaluating samples of % covered. This session also discusses masking techniques to prevent
coverage in peening-prohibited areas.
50 minutes |
| Peening Intensity |
Jack Champaigne |
Definition and measurement of intensity. Learn about Almen strip
method of measuring and controlling intensity using saturation curve graphs. Intensity controls
the size of the dent on the surface and the resulting compressive stress profile. Learn how to
measure and adjust the intensity levels and document your process.
50 minutes
This class is a prerequisite for certification exam Level 1. |
| Peening Media |
Jack Champaigne |
Comparisons of various media specifications. Learn about the similarities
and differences in size, shape and inspection requirements of various peening media specifications in
automotive and aerospace applications.
50 minutes |
| Peening Theory & Background |
Dr. John Cammett |
Explore the history of Peening and learn how dents on the surface
will prolong fatigue life of many components. Examine the relationship between dent size, stress
profile and fatigue life.
50 minutes
This class is a prerequisite for FAA certification exams up to Level 3. |
| Residual Stress Measurement |
Dr. John Cammett |

50 minutes |
| Specification Conformance & Equipment Design |
Kumar Balan |
Wheel and airblast equipment and process design to conform to
commonly used specifications (GM, Ford, Pratt & Whitney) with specific importance to Nadcap audit
requirements. Critical process parameters relating to quality assurance in peening applications.
Technical advances in monitoring peening process variables. Developments in computerized reporting
techniques.
