To improve the fatigue strength and resistance to stress corrosion cracking, peening is the effective technique because of the introduction of compressive residual stress. As penetration depth can varies with frequency and electromagnetic properties are varied with the induced stress, an electromagnetic method is proper to evaluate the peening efficiency nondestructively. It was reported that the electromagnetic properties were varied with processing time of peening and depth where the compressive residual stress was introduced. In this paper, to establish the evaluating method of peening intensity and homogeneity after peening, austenitic stainless steel, JIS SUS316L treated by cavitation peening were evaluated by means of an eddy current method with coil scanning. In results, the peening intensity can be evaluated by the eddy current method.
