Shot Peening.
Shot Peening
is a metallurgical process that induces a surface layer of residual compressive stress.
The compressive stresses resist initiation of fatigue cracks and subsequent growth
into substrate material.
Shot Peening is routinely used on mechanical components to increase fatigue life.
All highly stressed components subject to cylic loads during service will benefit from
Shot Peening.
Common applications include springs, gears, shafts, connecting rods and various transmission components.
MTS has a wheel peening machine suited to delicate
parts, a large tumblast machine suiting volume production, and an air peening machine capable of
selective peening a wide variety of larger components.
Our multi-axis, PLC-controlled air peening machine, shown at right, is the first high tech machine available to service Australian industry.
