Much like having the "rods" (part that directs the pistons up and down within the cylinders) from your car's engine "shot-peened" to relieve all the stress from them and make them stronger - the same principle applies to the Ar bolts sold by Bravo.
It's a metalurgical stress relieving process. mike |

they take cut steel rod or shot or other media and blast the part with an airgun, kinda like sandblasting. It's often done in a fixture and computer controlled to give a % of coverage.
It actually doesn't relieve stress but creates compressive surface stress. The good thing is compressive stress is not susceptible to crack propagation like tensile or sheer stress is. |
