Controlled Shot Peening

How shot peening works

Component failure is often related to residual tensile stress induced during manufacture and certain operating conditions. The controlled shot peening process is a cost effective and practical method of replacing tensile stress with beneficial compressive stress which is proven to prevent failures due to:

- Metal fatigue
- Corrosion fatigue
- Stress corrosion cracking
- Intergranular corrosion
- Fretting
- Galling
- Spalling
- Wear

Shot Peen Forming

Shot Peen Forming uses the compressive stresses induced by controlled shot peening to alter the stress pattern, magnitude and depth to deliberately create a change in the component shape. Gentle curves within the elastic range of the material are regularly formed to consistent tolerances.

Varying curvature requirements, material thickness, cut outs, reinforcements and pre-existing distortion can all be processed.
