The 3M™ Roto Peen Mandrel is a tool designed to provide quick and efficient repair and maintenance to U.S. Army helicopters. It is used to repair components like rotors and rotor hubs in the field. The tool, along with its associated flap assembly, allows peening action using a die grinder or disc sander. The 3M™ Roto Peen Flap Assembly (or TC 330) was qualified and written into military specifications in the early 1970s. It soon spread to other aerospace applications.

Today, the mandrel with a flap assembly is primarily used for aerospace applications. It allows the use of a die grinder or disc sander to perform captive shot peening to repair metal surfaces. The assembly consists of tungsten carbide shot bonded to a flexible polymeric flap gripped by the mandrels attached to the power tool. The spinning flap is held near the surface so that the captive shot hammers the metal surface with each revolution.

3M flap/mandrel assemblies provide convenient portability and are especially effective for precision in-service rework, manufacturing, repair of small areas, and peening holes with diameters down to 1/2 inch (12.7mm). Flaps can also be cut with scissors to peen confined areas or peen into areas with a radius down to 1/16 inch (1.6mm).

Captive shot peening is used for repair or limited access work or when free shot cannot be tolerated. Having the shot used to peen metal surfaces in a captive flap allows for more control and greater access to areas that require this strengthening procedure.

Peening is a process that utilizes compressive surface stress to strengthen metals, improving resistance to fatigue fracture and stress corrosion cracking. The aerospace industry has stringent peening specifications, in which adherence must frequently be documented. Off-spec peening can result in the failure of parts.

3M also provides Almen gauges to provide precise readings of strip deflections to measure peening intensities. The Almen Scale of Peen Intensity measures the curvature of a standardized steel strip when peened on one side. It was adopted by the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers).
