Shot peening is the bombardment of a metallic surface with spherical media
The primary benefit of Shot-Peening is an increased resistance to fatigue

Shot Peening
Induces compressive residual stresses from a few microns up to 0.5mm Increases fatigue strength and fatigue life Offers resistance against many fatigue failure modes Economical and well proven technology
Laser Peening
Induces 5-10 times greater depths of residual stresses than shot peening Far less cold working Less surface roughness Suitable for critical components where stresses are localised
C.A.S.E.
Reduces contact stress (micro / macro pitting) Removes surface asperities Lowers friction (reduced operating temperature and mechanical loss)
