The Impact Finishers division offers specialist subcontract peening services for customers around the world. Working principally, but not exclusively, for the aerospace and automotive industries, Impact Finishers are the experts in shot peening.
The UK offices are based in Coventry and Slough and both have NADCAP accreditation. The site in Slough, which handles mainly large, pocketed airframe components, has been accredited for manual, automatic and peen forming processes. The plant in Coventry, which undertakes work on mainly rotational parts, has been accredited for automatic processes.
If you need a quick turnaround or specialist expertise, subcontract your surface preparation and peening processes to Impact Finishers.
- Shot peening is used to induce residual compressive stress in the surface of components that are prone to cyclic and repetitive loads, the process also reduces stress corrosion cracking.
- Shot Peen Forming: this process compresses and extends the superficial layer of the component causing it to bow. Typical applications include the formation of skins, wing flaps, access panels, and sections of fuselage.
- Correction of distortion: (the reverse of shot peen forming) Shot peening is used to stretch and compress a localised area to achieve perfect flatness after a part has been distorted by heat or machining. Complex structural parts, ribs and spars typically undergo this process.
As well as peening, a complete range of blasting and vibratory finishing services are available to accommodate any type of part and and blasting requirement.
