Shot peening standards: AMS2430, AMS2432 and NADCAP

In a critical process like shot peening, compliance with standards makes the difference between a safe part and a risky one. For context, see what is shot peening.

Which standards apply?

All shot peening equipment is built to AMS2430 and AMS2432 and complies with NADCAP — the accreditation system recognised in the aerospace and defence industries.

Why do these standards matter?

They guarantee that the process is exactly repeatable, controllable and documented — essential for accepting parts in critical applications. Without AMS/NADCAP compliance, parts cannot be used in many aerospace supply chains.

Built to order

On request, shot peening machines can be built to order, according to each customer’s specifications and the part to be processed, while maintaining compliance.

Conclusion

AMS2430, AMS2432 and NADCAP guarantee a controlled, industry-accepted shot peening process. See also applications in aerospace.
