Abstract
This study examines numerical analysis of particle velocity and temperature distribution of struck material surface in fine particle peening. When the particle is accelerated using a direct-pressure type, the velocity of a 50μm particle, just before striking the metal surface, was calculated to be 222m/s. In applying air pressure, the acceleration of fine particles show significant increase compared to larger sizes. Moreover, the experimental values agree well with the calculated ones. On the other hand, the temperature distributions show the maximum surface temperature to be 1500K and cools instantly.
