SHOT PEENING
Shot peening is the process of strengthening a material by inducing a compressive stress across the surface. The size and shape of the shot is expected to be uniform; however, there is typically some variance from this ideal. Characterizing and controlling particle size and shape distributions of shot media are fundamental to ensuring the success of the peening process. CANTY’s technical advances in dynamic imaging of particulate matter have enabled routine sampling and analysis of particle size and shape distributions. CANTY’s dynamic imaging is far supeior to to conventional “manual” measurement techniques.

Canty participates in the referenced ASTM subcommittees (D18.26, D32.02 and E29.02) in order to develop useful standards for imaging analyzers. Although the referenced standards are often particular to a type of particle, they can be generalized for use with many types of particles.
ISO9276-6 is widely used to describe shape parameters and provide corresponding formulae for calculation of values.
