message: Not sure if I used the right photo or not. I also uploaded Hearstbuilding01.JPG, and Hearstbuilding03.JPG as well.  --Coro 00:27, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: Shotpeener.com includes the publication, The Shot Peener. Although the website and magazine are produced by a company that also makes controls and gages for shot peening, many articles are written by academic researchers and other unbiased authors. It should be watched for self-promotional material but not dismissed because the publisher is in the business. Wilhkar (talk) 16:59, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  source material 

message: I'm having a bit of heartburn with this sentence: 
"Shot peening is often called for in aircraft repairs to relieve tensile stresses built up in the grinding process and replace them with beneficial compressive stresses."
I suggest the following instead:
"Shot peening is often called for in aircraft repairs to replace the compressive layer lost by the removal of basis material.” (Or something like that)
The following information is based on my working knowledge of aircraft repair and overhaul. I realize it needs to be sourced and may count as independent research. 
Shot peening is used extensively in aircraft repairs. However, it is used for fatigue life extension. Repaired areas (blended, ground etc.) have the compressive layer removed, so it’s important to put it back. As for residual stress after grinding, that was mitigated with a stress relief bake. However, we found it to be un-necessary and no longer perform that additional processing step. Alister 77 (talk) 18:47, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Cut wire shot is small, unreferenced and would fit pretty well into this broader article. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:48, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge from [[Cut wire shot]] 

message: I propose that Steel Belt: Shot Peening be merged into Shot Peening. I think that the content in the Steel Belt: Shot Peening article can easily be explained in the context of Shot Peening, and the article is of a reasonable size that the merging will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.

replies: text: Starting from scratch, how big should the "Steel belt" section of the shot peening article be? I would suggest, not very. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:39, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

message: I'd be curious to see a better image and description of exactly what kind of "deformation" we're talking about here. I mean, how does one shot-peen a gear? They are required to be smooth surfaces to mate properly, and grinding them afterwards would defeat the purpose. Are we talking about shot-peening the SIDES of spur gears, not the teeth? I don't get it. Also, the opening photo seems pretty pointless...can't see any detail. All I see is a building addition that appears to be made out of metal. I don't see how it's any different from other metal building siding. Also, I don't recall anything in the article about if being used for cosmetic purposes...might be nice if that is indeed the case..45Colt 07:32, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

message: *It seems like some sort of Shot Peening, but done with Powder it seems?
*It is VERY secretive, but this article had some theories/insight:
**MotorTrend - Shot Peening & WPC Treatment - Special Treatment, Part 1 - Tech - 2009
*Any of you know more on this?  And should it be it's own page, or a sub-category of this i'd imagine?
