Shot peening machine Shot peening is a cold working process used to produce a compressive residual stress layer and modify mechanical properties of metals. It entails impacting a surface with the shot (round metallic, glass, or ceramic particles) with sufficient force to create plastic deformation. It’s similar to sandblasting, except that it operates by the plasticity mechanism rather than abrasion: each particle functions as a ball-peen hammer. In practice, this means that less material is removed by the process and less dust is generated. Peening a surface spreads it plastically, causing changes in the mechanical properties of the surface. Shot peening is often called for in aircraft repairs to relieve tensile stresses built up in the grinding process and replace them with beneficial compressive stresses. Depending on the part geometry, part material, shot material, shot quality, shot intensity, shot coverage, shot peening can increase fatigue life up to 1000%.

Shot peening machine Main differences between shot peening x conventional blasting • The angle of attack, the release position of the abrasive (spheres) against the workpiece. • The volume of abrasive launched. • Abrasive launching speed. • Abrasive rating (size, roundness). Some of the benefits • Improves the resistance to mechanical and thermal fatigues. • Improves the corrosion and friction resistance. • Allows to reduce the size and/or weight without compromising the mechanical resistance. • Eliminates the directional risk of machining or micro-cracks, inhibiting crack propagation. •...
