 INTRODUCTION
A ball-peen or ball pein hammer, also known as a machinist's hammer, is a type of peening
hammer used in metal working. It has two heads, one flat and the other, called the peen, rounded.
It is distinguished from a cross-peen hammer, diagonal-peen hammer, point-peen hammer,
or chisel-peen hammer by having a hemispherical peen.
The ball-peen hammer is useful for many tasks, such as striking punches and chisels. The
peening face is useful for rounding off edges of metal pins and fasteners, such as rivets. The ball
face of the hammer can also be used to make gaskets for mating surfaces. A suitable gasket
material is held over the surface where a corresponding gasket is desired, and the operator will
lightly tap around the edges of the mating surface to perforate the gasket material.

 Raw material used for manufacturing ball peen

hammer
 Hammer head is made of mild steel for strength and durability. The handles may be made
from wood, steel, or a composite material. Wood handles are usually made of straight-
grained ash or hickory. These two woods have good cross-sectional strength, excellent
durability, and a certain degree of resilience to absorb the shock of repeated blows. Steel
handles are stronger and stiffer than wood, but they also transmit more shock to the user
and are subject to rust. Composite handles may be made from fiberglass or graphite fiber-
reinforced epoxy. These handles offer a blend of stiffness, light weight, and durability.

 Manufacturing of ball peen hammer

The manufacturing of ball peen hammer was done by performing these steps:

1) Facing: Facing is a turning operation in which the workpiece is machined to

its center. It involves moving the cutting tool perpendicular to the workpiece's
axis of rotation.
2) Turning: Turning is the removal of metal from the outer diameter of a
rotating cylindrical workpiece. Turning is used to reduce the diameter of the
workpiece, usually to a specified dimension, and to produce a smooth finish on
the metal.
3) Shaping:  The process of removing metal from a surface in horizontal,
vertical and inclined position to produce a flat or plane surface, slots and grooves
by means of a relative reciprocating motion between the tool and work piece
4) Cutting: Cutting is a technique where the operator moves a material
(workpiece) such as metal and the tool in relation to each other in order to shape
the workpiece into the desired form through shaving, drilling, etc.
5) Filling:  Filing helps achieve workpiece function by removing some excess
material and deburring the surface. 
6) Milling: Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove
material by advancing a cutter into a workpiece.
7) Slotting: It is the removal of material in the form of chips by a relative
movement of at least one tool with a geometrically defined cutting edge relative
to a workpiece along a non-circular trajectory.
