This specification establishes the requirements for computer monitored shot peening of parts surfaces by impingement of media, including metallic, glass, or ceramic shot. Computer monitored peening is intended to provide a method of process observation, traceability, and response for all process in put settings, in real time, during the entire peening process to ensure with objective evidence, the desired process outputs. Shot peening in accordance with AMS 2432 meets or exceeds the requirements of AMS 2430.
