This SAE Standard and its supplementary detail specifications cover the engineering requirements for the controlled shot peening of a medical device where shot peening is required for enhancement of a material's mechanical properties through the intentional creation of compressive residual stress.

Blast cleaning may be defined as a mechanical pre-treatment process in which a suitable stream of solid particles is propelled with sufficient velocity against a work surface to cause a cleaning or abrading action when it comes in contact with the workpiece. Blast cleaning may be employed for a variety of purposes. It is a well-established method for removing sand from castings and burrs or scale from forgings, mill products, or heat treated parts; to promote machinability; and to minimize the possibility of interference in actual operation. In addition to this use, blast cleaning also produces a suitable surface for downstream industrial coatings. All these objectives are often accomplished in the one operation. As a general understanding, this document pertains to blast cleaning only. Any reference to shot peening or other processes is only to explain a context or concept related to blast cleaning.

Blast cleaning may be defined as a secondary manufacturing process in which a suitable stream of solid particles is propelled with sufficient velocity against a work surface to cause a cleaning or abrading action when it comes in contact with the workpiece. As indicated in the definition, blast cleaning may be employed for a variety of purposes. Ordinarily, it is considered as a method for removing sand from castings, burrs or scale from forgings, mill products, or heat treated parts; to promote machinability, and to minimize the possibility of interference in actual operation. In addition to this use, blast cleaning also produces an excellent surface for industrial coatings. All these objectives are often accomplished in the one operation.

This SAE Standard covers the engineering requirements for peening surfaces of parts by impingement of metallic shot, glass beads, or ceramic shot. To induce residual compressive stress in surface layers of parts, thereby increasing fatigue strength and resistance to stress-corrosion cracking.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides uniform procedures for using the standard shot peening test strips reported in SAE J442. Standard test strips are used to establish saturation, determine intensity, monitor repeatability of the shot peening machine operations, and can be used to predict a desired result on a part. It is recommended that the standard test strip A be used for intensities that produce arc heights of 0.10mm A (0.004 inch A) to 0.60 mm A (0.024 inch A). For intensities below 0.10 mm A (0.004 inch A), the standard N strip is recommended, and for intensities above 0.60 mm A (0.024 inch A), the standard C strip is recommended. The process of shot peening, in common with many other processes, cannot at present be adequately controlled by nondestructive inspection of the peened parts, therefore, it is necessary to control the process itself to achieve consistent, reliable results.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides uniform procedures for using the standard shot peening test strips reported in SAE Standard J442, Test Strip, Holder and Gage for Shot Peening. Standard test strips are used to control repeatability of the shot peening machine operations, and to specify a desired result on a part. It is recommended that the standard test strip A be used for intensities that produce arc heights of 6A to 24A. For intensities below 6A, the standard N strip is recommended, and for intensities above 24A, the standard C strip is recommended. Shot peening is intended to induce surface compressive stresses in metal parts for the purpose of improving resistance to fatigue and stress corrosion cracking. Springs, axles, and aircraft landing gears are typical examples of such parts.
