3M 7000046311 | 7211 Peen Mandrel

Description

The 3M 7000046311 Roto Peen Mandrel 7211 is a captive shot peen mandrel made specifically for precise metal surface strengthening and in-service repair. This mandrel, designed to accept flap assemblies containing bonded tungsten carbide shot, holds the flap in place for controlled peening with die grinders or disc sanders. The 7211 mandrel is ideal for aerospace metal peening tool workflows that require repeatable coverage, confined area access, and documented intensity control. The characteristics of a portable flap mandrel peening device enable operators to reach small radii and internal features while maintaining consistent shot impact patterns. Use with approved 3M flap assemblies to peen rotor hubs, landing gear components, weld heat-affected zones, and other critical parts that require compressive surface stress to reduce fatigue and stress corrosion cracking risks. The mandrel attaches mechanically to standard power tools, allowing for quick changeover, reliable flap retention, and consistent concentric rotation for repeatable peening results.

Product Features and Benefits

Captive shot peen mandrel for precision repair

The Roto Peen Mandrel 7211 secures flap assemblies with captive shot to produce controlled peening for fatigue life restoration and stress-corrosion mitigation.

Compatible with die grinders and disc sanders
