Shot Peening

In blasting, the question “wheel or nozzle” is settled by two numbers: how many parts per shift, and how much one weighs. In shot peening, those two numbers are not enough. The reason is simple but easy to lose sight of: in peening you are not delivering a surface, you are delivering a layer. And […]

The energy industry works with components that have to last years, under high loads, with maintenance that is hard to reach. Surface treatment contributes directly to that. Shot peening for loaded components Gears, shafts and components under variable loading benefit from shot peening. The process introduces compressive residual stress in the surface layer. A fatigue

In a critical process like shot peening, compliance with standards makes the difference between a safe part and a risky one. For context, see what is shot peening. Which standards apply? All shot peening equipment is built to AMS2430 and AMS2432 and complies with NADCAP — the accreditation system recognised in the aerospace and defence

The aerospace industry is one of the most demanding fields, where part reliability is critical — and shot peening plays a key role. See the basics: what is shot peening. Why is shot peening important in aerospace? Shot peening is frequently required in aircraft repairs, to replace the tensile stresses accumulated after machining and heat

Shot peening is a special surface treatment that significantly increases the fatigue strength and service life of metal parts. Unlike conventional sandblasting, its purpose is not cleaning but hardening the surface layer by inducing beneficial compressive stresses. What is shot peening? Shot peening is a special blasting process in which the surface of a part
