Summary
In the present investigation surface roughness and residual stress data obtained with different peening parameters were reported. It was observed that pressure peening with 10 mm convergent divergent nozzle, 1 to 1.2 mm cast steel shots, at 0.32 A peening intensity, 3 kg/cm2 tank pressure 12” stand off, 125 to 150 % coverage gave residual stress value −418 MPa at 0.25 mm depth in 12 % chrome steel test pieces. The surface roughness too was with in required range (Ra = 2.80 µm). Residual stress on an actual blade profile cut section was also verified. Thus roll pressing can be replaced by shot peening.
