Shot Peening

Industrial Metal Finishing’s primary specialty is shot peening. Our engineers are available to  assist you with troubleshooting performance issues, interpreting industry specifications, or writing your own proprietary peening specification. Industrial Metal Finishing processes jobs to the Shot Peening specifications listed below, as well as others. Please contact us for assistance with your specific requirements.

Process Definition

Shot peening is a mechanical process used to cold work metal by impacting the surface with spherical particles which induces a work hardened surface and a thin compressive stress layer which can increase tensile strength.

Benefits

  • Increases the material fatigue life
  • Prevents formation of fatigue cracks from opening on the material surface
  • Enhances resistance to corrosion and wear of material placed under repeated stress
