FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 8, 2009 --

Electronics Inc. is conducting a Shot Peening and Blast Cleaning Workshop and Trade Show in Albuquerque, New Mexico on October 27, 28, and 29 at the Embassy Suites Hotel Albuquerque. Albuquerque is located in a growing aerospace cluster of more than 100 companies with roots in the earliest operations of Kirtland Air Force Base and the nation’s space program. Anyone who works in the shot peening industry will benefit from this comprehensive workshop and the program is ideal for aerospace maintenance, repair and overhaul facilities. The workshop courses are recognized by the FAA. Mechanics qualified under FAA rules to perform inspections may receive credit for obtaining workshop Certificates of Achievement. Additionally, the flapper peening classes and exam are of special benefit to shot peening operators in the aerospace industry.

The workshop will cover all aspects of the shot peening and blast cleaning processes including the proper shot peening procedures as required by applicable specifications; the products (air and wheel machines, nozzles, media, and job shop services); how to control the process through media, intensity, coverage and equipment; how to plot a saturation curve to determine intensity; how to establish proper machine parameters to ensure correct stress profiles and fatigue life; proper paperwork procedures and record keeping; how to pass an audit; how to spot a machine malfunction; and machine maintenance. The workshop will also feature Advanced Shot Peening courses for shot peening professionals that are ready for more advanced topics.

The cost of the workshop is $850 USD per person and includes workbook, break refreshments and lunch. Group and early registration discounts are available and the hotel is providing reduced room rates and free breakfast for attendees. A shot peening and blast cleaning trade show will be free to workshop participants.

About Shot Peening

Shot peening is a cold-working process in which the material surface is peened to induce compressive stresses and thereby improve fatigue life. Shot peening is used in aerospace, automotive, mining, medical and other industries that need to improve the fatigue properties of metal components.
