Shot-peening
![]() ![]()
A specialism in the area of blasting
methods is shot-peening and glass-peening. For these processes absolutely
round media has to be used to get an improvement of the surface structure of
metals. What actually happens at the metal surface? The bombardment with
round media causes a mechanical vibration on the object and the resultant
stresses created on the surface cause the surface oxides and dirt etc, to be
removed. A further result of this treatment process is that the resistance
to fatigue of the surface material will be increased strongly and the
tendency to form cracks under load will be reduced.
