source material

Shotpeener.com includes the publication, The Shot Peener. Although the website and magazine are produced by a company that also makes controls and gages for shot peening, many articles are written by academic researchers and other unbiased authors. It should be watched for self-promotional material but not dismissed because the publisher is in the business. Wilhkar (talk) 16:59, 27 February 2010 (UTC) Wilhkar[reply]

Agreed. The Shot Peener has covered a huge variety of topics related to shot peening and blast cleaning since its foundation in 1986 (theshotpeenermagazine.com). Past issues can be downloaded for free from the magazine website while the shotpeener.com website has an extensive library with a search function for specific topics. Another magazine which sometimes has useful articles on peening is Metal Finishing News (MFN) (mfn.li).CSK45Kays (talk) 12:38, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

???

I'd be curious to see a better image and description of exactly what kind of "deformation" we're talking about here. I mean, how does one shot-peen a gear? They are required to be smooth surfaces to mate properly, and grinding them afterwards would defeat the purpose. Are we talking about shot-peening the SIDES of spur gears, not the teeth? I don't get it. Also, the opening photo seems pretty pointless...can't see any detail. All I see is a building addition that appears to be made out of metal. I don't see how it's any different from other metal building siding. Also, I don't recall anything in the article about if being used for cosmetic purposes...might be nice if that is indeed the case..45Colt 07:32, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

This discussion resulted in consensus to merge - Tactical Falcon (talk) 00:34, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging Shot peening of steel belts into Shot peening. I think the content in Shot peening of Steel Belts is far too specialized. There are also some issues with the article(neutrality and bias). It would not cause any weighting or article size problems in this article if some of the details in Shot Peening of Steel Belts were removed. Tactical Falcon (talk) 20:30, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am looking into additional sources since this seems heavily biased. As of now, I tend to agree it should be combined into Shot peening as a whole. EliteQuill42 (talk) 01:02, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This was assigned as my first page to edit on the Wikipedia. After reading it over, It seems to serve no purpose as the Shot peening article already exists. A Stupid Horse (talk) 01:01, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge – The article is just shot peening in the field of steel belts, and it lacks many sources for verification. Toffee Dude ^talk _contrib 08:48, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree that this article is too specialized and doesn't serve any real purpose.

How many people do we actually need to merge the pages because this page isn't really viewed that often. Hadjar Darkhan (talk) 12:12, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a consensus, so we can probably merge now. Tactical Falcon (talk) 23:13, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If there is no reply in a week, I will merge the article myself. Tactical Falcon (talk) 23:16, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and merged the article - Tactical Falcon (talk) 01:16, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
