This SAE Standard and its supplementary detail specifications cover the engineering requirements for the controlled shot peening of a medical device where shot peening is required for enhancement of a material's mechanical properties through the intentional creation of compressive residual stress.
Rationale: The intent of this revision is to (a) correct terminology in different areas, (b) change language to include potentially new media types, (c) quantify coverage, define overspray, and (d) specify correct hardness for Almen strips.
