Seminar Opening and Introduction to Shot Peening by EI SPT as part of FAA course material. This entry level class discusses the history and fundamentals of the peening process that we know today as terms used in the industry are introduced and explained. This session also defines when the peening process should be performed. (30 min) |
| 09:00 |
Peening Media by EI SPT as part of 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. (40 min) |
| 09:40 |
Intensity Basics & Calculation by EI SPT as part of 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. (60 min) |

Break (20 min) |
| 11:00 |
Peening Coverage and Masking by EI SPT as part of 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. (60 min) |
| 12:00 |
LUNCH – Buffet style in hotel restaurant (60 min) |
| 13:00 |
Saturation Curve Practice 1-3 by EI SPT as part of FAA course material. This session explores simplified saturation curves as workshop attendees are asked to plot arc height data in order to determine intensity. Calculation device required 30 min) |
| 13:30 |
Machine Basics & Process Optimization by by Ervin Industries. In our discussions, we will start with defining the basics of an airblast machine including design criteria for cabinets, reclaim and ventilation arrangements, dust collectors and controls. As a natural progression, we will talk about optimizing your process in terms of critical process parameters such as air pressure, media flow rate etc. Our discussions will then lead to operating costs of a blast machine, its calculation. You will be introduced to wheel blast machines as well in this discussion with hints on when each type of equipment is preferred. (40 min) |

Critical differences between Peening and Cleaning by Ervin Industries. Though seemingly similar, the two processes have distinct contrasts. Don’t get caught into ‘well-established’ methods and ‘we’ve always done it this way’ paradigms. Let’s learn together and educate those around us as well. You may even have a cleaning process at your facility that our discussion will help you optimize. (30 min) |

Rotary-Flap Peening Introduction by EI SPT. This presentation is and introduction to Rotary-Flap Peening (REP) 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. Those seeking RFP certification must attend this Introduction presentation and the Technical lecture before moving on to the required written and practical testing. (30 min) |
