If you’ve ever wondered how metal parts can be made stronger and more durable, shot peening is the answer. It’s a process used in industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical manufacturing to extend the life of metal components by making them more resistant to cracks, fatigue, and stress.

How does Shot Peening Work?

Think of shot peening like a massage for metal. Tiny steel, ceramic, or glass beads (called media) are blasted at the surface of a part using compressed air or a wheel. These small impacts create tiny dimples, compressing the surface and making it tougher. This added strength helps prevent cracks and failures, even under extreme conditions.

Why is Shot Peening Important?

• Increases Durability: Helps prevent metal parts from wearing out too soon.
• Reduces Stress Cracks: Perfect for parts that experience repeated pressure, like aircraft components or automotive springs.
• Improves Performance: Keeps parts stronger without adding extra weight.
