Mechanical surface treatment processes like shot peening induce plastic deformation in the near surface areas of the peened workpiece leading to changes in surface and subsurface properties, e. g. hardness alteration and generation of compressive residual stress. While changes of the processed part are desired because of the lifetime extending influence, changes of the shot material are normally neglected...
