This specification covers procedures and requirements for peening of metal parts with portable, bonded-shot, rotary flap assemblies in accordance with AS2592. The principles of rotary flap peening are similar to conventional shot peening, except conversion of arc height values using the magnetic test strip holder is required for intensity determination.
Rationale:
AMS2590C results from a Five-Year Review and update of this specification with the deletion of test strips being specified by the purchaser as these are stated in SAE J442 (3.1.3), addition of instructions regarding test strip holder and magnets to ensure there is no movement of the test strip (3.1.4), addition of new calibration requirement for measuring equipment (3.1.5), addition of general requirement that parts be peened to the extent specified (3.3), rewording of intensity to include CEO approval for alternate methods (3.4.1), addition of CEO approval of alternate arc height conversion methods (3.4.2), reworded used flap examination requirements for flap replacement to percent of missing shot (3.4.7), and added calibration requirement for rpm controller (3.5.1.1).
