Description / Abstract:
Purpose
The complete requirements for procuring the product shall
consist of this document and the latest issue of the basic
specification, AMS2431.
Application
Ceramic shot conforming to this specification is typically
intended for use in peening of metal surfaces to impart compressive
stresses to these surfaces thereby increasing resistance to fatigue
and stress-corrosion cracking. Generally, ceramic shot may be used
where ferrous contamination of the part is undesirable or very hard
parts (over 60 HRC) are to be peened for maximum residual
compressive stress.
