China Seminar Agenda/Topics
Seminar Day 1
| Thursday – August 6, 2026 | ||
| 8:00am | Check-in Registered attendees should arrive during this time to sign in and collect reference materials. (30min) | |
| 8:30am | Seminar Opening and Introduction to Shot Peening by E.I. SPT as part of beginner FAA course material. The format of the seminar is quickly explained before beginning the morning’s FAA course material. This entry level class discusses the history and fundamentals of the peening process. Terms used in the industry are introduced and explained. (50min) | |
| 9:20am | Peening Media by E.I. SPT as part of beginner FAA course material. The media is the real tool of the peening process. This session gives an overview of the four types of media commonly used in peening and their attributes. This class also briefly discusses what to look for when selecting the right media for your application. (50min) | |
| 10:10am | Break (20min) | |
| 10:30am | Intensity Basics & Calculation by E.I. SPT as part of beginner FAA course material. This class will introduce the concept of peening intensity and how it is measured using Almen strips, holders and gages. The saturation curve and the 10% rule are explained and guidelines for new set-ups and verification trials for peening intensity are discussed. (60min) | |
| 11:30am | Saturation Curve Practice 1-3 by E.I. SPT as part of beginner FAA course material. This session explores simplified saturation curves as workshop attendees are asked to plot arc height data in order to determine intensity. (30min) | |
| 12:00pm | LUNCH (60min) | |
| 1:00am | Peening Coverage and Masking by E.I. SPT as part of beginner FAA course material. This session outlines Coverage requirements for the peening process. We discuss why Coverage is important and how to inspect for proper Coverage. A brief outline of part masking options will also be discussed. (60min) | |
| 2:00pm | Break (20min) | |
| 2:20pm | Rotary-Flap Peening by E.I. SPT as part of FAA course material. This presentation teaches you about Rotary-Flap Peening (RFP), which has become a reliable method to perform the peening process to small areas where damage repair or corrosion removal has left tensile stress on a part surface. The process is clean, extremely portable, and allows parts to be peened while assembled. (70 min) Those seeking RFP certification should attend this presentation (along with presentations above) to prepare for the required written and practical testing. Those not seeking an RFP Certificate may choose to attend the presentation or be dismissed, however must return for their exam if seeking a Level 1 Shot Peening Certificate. | |
| 3:30pm | Study Break / Dismissal (20min) | |
| 3:50pm | Exam Session | |
| 4:50pm | End of Day for non-RFP students | |
5:00pm | RFP Certificate Practical Testing by E.I. SPT. In accordance to FAA and SAE AMS-2590 requirements, practical and written exams will be given to those seeking certification in the Rotary-Flap Peening process. This course has limited availability. (60-120min) 3 Slots Available – Note: Availability shown is not updated instantly – Registrations may be altered or rejected if they exceed availability between updates. Special arrangements may be available if/when all sessions are full. Please contact us for options. | |
Seminar Day 2
| Friday – August 7, 2026 | ||
| 8:30am | Media Inspection and Maintenance by E.I. SPT as part of advanced FAA course material. Using the correct media and maintaining its quality is a must for a consistent process. This session discusses different media specifications and their requirements. Examples of both shape and size inspection are reviewed and on-machine devices that help meet specifications and maintain media quality are also examined. (60min) | |

| 10:20am | Advanced Intensity / Parameter Adjustments by E.I. SPT as part of advanced FAA course material. This session looks at how other peening parameters can affect the intensity results in your process. Changes in the media and machine condition can cause undesired results. (60 min) | |
| 11:20am | Saturation Curve Analysis, Examples 4-8 by E.I. SPT as part of advanced FAA course material. This hands-on practical asks students to produce slightly more challenging saturation curves and determine an intensity value. This session also invokes the thought that the saturation curve can be more than just a means to determine an intensity value. (40min) | |
| 12:00pm | LUNCH (60min) | |
| 1:00pm | Advanced Coverage and Surface Texture by E.I. SPT as part of advanced FAA course material.
