Have the artisans who perform peening at your company been certified? What is peener certification? Why is it done? How is it done?

It’s a fact that you cannot perform a nondestructive inspection on your peened parts to detect proper intensity. For this reason, the artisan who performs the peening is the most critical link in your process. He should be well trained and well versed in all aspects of the peening process.

This lecture will answer the above questions as well as show you how to establish or refine your peener certification program. All of the necessary elements of a certification program will be presented and discussed.

Flapper Peening Lab and Practical

Pete Bailey
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.

A FAA certification exam is offered for this class but candidates must also attend and pass the "Flapper Peening Theory and Applications" course.

Starting from a general overview on shot peening, this presentation is a practical tool to guide you through the steps of properly evaluating, selecting and applying the best peening parameters for each peening application.
SP104 New Developments in Peening & Cleaning

Kumar Balan
Though the threat of overseas production is real, North American manufacturing continues to innovate. Such manufacturers utilize their current knowledge of cleaning and peening techniques, recognize their benefits and use them in new applications. The need to be cost competitive has inspired blast equipment manufacturers to explore newer material technology to solve traditional issues such as noise, leakage etc. This discussion will focus on how traditional cleaning and peening machines are utilized for relatively non-traditional applications. Also exemplified is the manner in which equipment manufacturers have modified/modernized existing technology to adapt to this changing requirement.
SP105 Ultrasonic Impact Technology

Dan Spinner
Ultrasonic Impact Technology (also known as UIT) can impart compressive stresses to depths (+0.120”) greater than twice the maximum of shot peening (~0.060”) and stress relieve up to 0.60” deep. By selection of the proper indenters, treatment can be highly focused in small areas such as the HAZ of welds, or across complete component surfaces such as brake rotors, crank shafts and cam shafts, giving fatigue life strength up to 5 times that of conventional shot peening. The technology has also given superior performance in SCC in stainless steels and exfoliation of aluminum aerospace components.
Classes marked FL are recommended as exam preparation for flapper peening. Any persons interested in flapper certification must attend "Flapper Peening Practice / Practical" and demonstrate proficiency to the instructor prior to sitting for the examination.

AT104 Shot Peen Forming of Wing Skins

Jim Harrison
Wing skins can be formed to have a curved surface. Like with an Almen strip, Peen forming involves blasting a stream of shot at the metal surface with each piece of shot acting as a tiny peening hammer but unlike most other forming methods, all surface stresses generated by peen forming are compressive - counter-balancing the tensile forces acting on the lower surface of the wing while the plane is in flight.
