SHOT PEENING – PROCESS BENEFITS

Shot peening is economical and environmental friendly.
Leads to significant improvements of the mechanical properties of workpieces.
Increase of the fatigue strength of components subjected to high alternating stress.

Improvement of life time:

Coil springs > 1000 %
Torsion springs up to 600 %
Piston rods up to 100 %
Wheel hubs > 1000 %
Welding seems 200 %

Permits design of lighter weight and lower cost components.
Prevention of stress corrosion.
Formation of lubrication pockets.
Compensates manufacturing related surface defects.
