Shot Peening
Wheelabrator specializes in custom-designed shot peening and surface preparation solutions for your specific application.
With global innovation (five technology centers across the world) and global machine support, we can support your peening and surface preparation needs.
The Shot Peening Process
Shot peening is a process specifically designed to enhance the fatigue strength of components which are subject to high alternating stress. Surface treatment procedures like grinding, milling, bending or heat treatment procedures cause Tensile Residual Stress. This Tensile Residual Stress leads to low life cycles of parts or components. Shot Peening converts Tensile Residual Stress into Compressive Residual Stress which leads to significant increases in the life cycle of parts and their maximum load capacities.
Wide Ranging Solutions to Fit All Applications
Shot Peening is cost effective and reliable and can be achieved with Airblasting or Wheelblasting – depending on capacities, part size and requirements. Landing gears or turbine blades of aircraft, artificial joints in the medical industry, gear wheels, gear shafts, valve springs, suspension springs, connecting rods, and many other parts in various industries are shot peened every day.
Wheelabrator offers a range of shot peening machines to meet the requirements of all industries from automotive to aerospace, renewable energy to medical. Wheelabrator Group has the capability to realize complete solutions with different blasting processes from one source, and with the ability to combine air and wheel blast technology, offers a range of innovative solutions to fulfill customers' needs.
