Abstract: International audience; The conventional air pressure shot peening process consists of multiple impacts of particles propelled with pressurized air through a nozzle at the surface of mechanical components. An experimental study of the flow of particles exiting the nozzle was conducted. A high speed camera was used for image acquisition of the particle flow. This particle flow was analyzed using a particle tracking (PT) technique and using a digital image correlation (DIC) technique. Those two methods were compared and applied to the characterization of an industrial shot peening flow with several parameters of jet pressure and mass flow rate.
