PeeningPeening is a procedure that involves lightly ham-mering a weld as it cools. This process aids in relievingbuilt-up stresses and preventing surface cracking in thejoint area; however, peening should be done with carebecause excess hammering can work harden and in-crease stresses in the weld. This condition leads to weldembrittlement and early failure. Some welds are cov-ered by specific codes that prohibit peening so youshould check the weld specification before peening.

What is peening in welding?

It is one way to "Stress Relieve" the weld joint. As the weld metal metal cools it contracts and hammering on the weld expands it. On thick sections it is done after every layer of weld. Often used when welding cast iron or other metals with a low COE (Coefficient of Expansion).

What is peening?

Shot peening is a process in which a media is accelerated and shot at a product in order to pound and bend the product into the desired shape and finish. Peening removes little metal from the finished product, and is used to give a pronounced finish.

What Welding electrode can be used to weld A 36steel to AISI 4140 steel?

I have experience when my team welded "JIG Ladle" A36 to AISI 4140, we used electrode E7018 with SMAW process. The important thing for this welding's prehating during welding min. 180 degree celcius and did peening the weld beads to minimize residual stresses. After welding covered by blanket for slow cooling. Regards, Asep S (asep93st@yahoo.com)
