摘要

A mask (10) for masking a corner (28) of a metal component (20) during peening. The component (20) has a first surface (22) defining an opening (24) in the component (20) and a second surface (26) intersecting the first surface (22) of the component (20) at the corner (28). The mask (10) includes a plug (12) sized and shaped for insertion in the opening (24) adjacent to the corner (28) to cover the corner (28) during peening. Further, the mask (10) includes a rim (14) surrounding at least a portion of the plug (12) sized and shaped for surrounding at least a portion of the opening (24) to cover the corner (28) during peening thereby preventing the corner (28) from being peened.
