Mexico Peening Seminar – Day 1
| Wednesday – April 9, 2025 | ||
| 7:00am | Breakfast in hotel restaurant Sponsored by Equipos de Abrasion. |
|
| 8:00am | Check-in Registered attendees should arrive during this time to sign in and collect reference materials. (30min) | |
| 8:30am | Seminar Opening and Introduction to Shot Peening by EI SPT as part of beginner FAA course material. The format of the seminar is quickly explained before beginning the morning’s FAA course material. This entry level class discusses the history and fundamentals of the peening process. Terms used in the industry are introduced and explained. (40min) | |
| 9:10am | Peening Media by EI SPT as part of beginner FAA course material. The media is the real tool of the peening process. This session gives an overview of the four types of media commonly used in peening and their attributes. This class also briefly discusses what to look for when selecting the right media for your application. (40min) | |
| 9:50am | AMS Cast Steel Shot by Ervin Industries. Learn more about cast steel shot. (20 min) | |
| 10:10am | Break (20min) | |
| 10:30am | Intensity Basics & Calculation by EI SPT as part of beginner FAA course material. This class will introduce the concept of peening intensity and how it is measured using Almen strips, holders and gages. The saturation curve and the 10% rule are explained and guidelines for new set-ups and verification trials for peening intensity are discussed. (60min) | |
| 11:30am | Saturation Curve Practice 1-3 by EI SPT as part of beginner FAA course material. This session explores simplified saturation curves as workshop attendees are asked to plot arc height data in order to determine intensity. (30min) | |
| 12:00pm | LUNCH in hotel restaurant Sponsored by Electronics Incorporated |
|
| 1:00pm | Peening Coverage and Masking by EI SPT as part of beginner FAA course material. This session outlines Coverage requirements for the peening process. We discuss why Coverage is important and how to inspect for proper Coverage. A brief outline of part masking options will also be discussed. (60min) | |
| 2:00pm | Break (15min) | |
| 2:15pm | Rotary-Flap Peening by EI SPT as part of FAA course material. This presentation is on Rotary-Flap Peening (RFP) which has become a reliable method to perform the peening process over small areas where damage repair or corrosion removal has left tensile stress on the part surface. The process is clean, extremely portable, and allows parts to be peened while assembled. hose seeking RFP certification must complete written and practical testing. (60 min)Those not seeking RFP certification may use this time to study for the Level 1 Shot Peening written exam, but be sure to return at exam start time. | |
| 3:15pm | Break / Dismissal (15min) | |
| 3:30pm | Exam Session Level 1 “Beginner” Certification (45min) Rotary-Flap Certification – Written (30min) |
|
| 4:30pm | End of Day – Shot Peening RFP Practical Session – Rotary-Flap Peening practical training and testing session. Only those seeking RFP certification attend. |
|
| 5:30pm | End of Day – RFP | |
Mexico Peening Seminar – Day 2
| Thursday – April 10, 2025 | ||
| 7:00am | Breakfast in hotel restaurant Sponsored by Electronics Incorporated |
|
| 8:00am | Media Inspection and Maintenance by EI SPT as part of advanced FAA course material. Using the correct media and maintaining its quality is a must for a consistent process. This session discusses different media specifications and their requirements. Examples of both shape and size inspection are reviewed and on-machine devices that help meet specifications and maintain media quality are also examined. (60min) | |
| 9:00am | Advanced Intensity / Parameter Adjustments by EI SPT as part of advanced FAA course material. This session looks at how various peening parameters can affect the intensity results in your process. (60min) | |
| 10:00am | Break (20min) | |
| 10:20am | Advanced Coverage Concepts by EI SPT as part of advanced FAA course material. For the process engineer, this session discusses how to determine part processing time to insure proper coverage while avoiding peening parts for too long. Solutions for hard to peen locations are also discussed. (60min) | |
| 11:20pm | Saturation Curve Practice 4-8 by EI SPT as part of FAA course material. This hands-on practical asks students to produce slightly more challenging saturation curves and determine an intensity value. This session also invokes the thought that the saturation curve can be more than just a means to determine an intensity value. (40 min) | |
| 12:00pm | LUNCH in hotel restaurant Sponsored by Equipos de Abrasion |
|
| 1:00pm | AMS Ceramic Beads by Rosber. Learn more about Ceramic Bead peening media. (20min) | |
| 1:20pm | Air Blast Peening Machines by Equipos and Progressive Surface. Air Machines are used for precision peening of a localized area. This class gives an overview of the setup and operation of an air blast peening machine. Machine inspection and preventative maintenance will also be highlighted in this presentation. (40 min) | |
| 2:00pm | Wheel Blast Peening Machines by Equipos. Wheel machines are used for peening large objects or areas quickly and efficiently. This class gives an overview of the design, operation and adjustment of a wheel blast peening machine. Machine inspection and preventative maintenance will also be highlighted in this presentation. (30 min) | |
| 2:30pm | Break (20min) | |
| 2:50pm | Procedure and Processes by EI SPT as part of advanced FAA course material. The session begins with an introduction to residual stress curves and then explains how special peening processes such as stress, heat and dual peening can improve the results of the peening process. Other advanced peening topics will also be discussed. (40min) | |
| 3:30pm | Break / Dismissal / Study (20min) | |
| 3:50pm | Exam Session Level 2 “Advanced” Certification (60min) |
|
| 5:00pm | End of Day | |
