Differences between shot peening machine and conventional blasting

​

• Angle of attack and release position of abrasive (spheres) against the workpiece.

• Volume of abrasive launched.

• Abrasive launching speed.

• Abrasive rating, including size and roundness.

​

Benefits of shot peening

​

• Forming (deforming or straightening workpieces).

• Improves resistance to mechanical and thermal fatigue.

• Enhances corrosion and friction resistance.

• Allows size and weight reduction without compromising mechanical strength.

• Eliminates directional risk of machining or micro-cracks, inhibiting crack propagation.

​

Applications

​

• Automotive industry: springs, gears, torsion bars, rods, crankshafts, axles, and suspension arms.

• Metalworking industry: cutting tools, stamping, forging (mostly cold).

• Aerospace industry: Shot peening is extensively used, treating various components of turbines, structural parts, and landing gear.
