Shot peening is a more complex process than shot blasting, enabling higher-quality, more precise cleaning. Shot peening is used across various industries and products.
- Castings
- Springs
- Heat Treating Parts
- Forgings
- Machined Parts
Applications
The versatility of peening blasting enables a wide range of applications across sectors. Some of the surface preparation methods include:
- Deburring – Burrs and other imperfections are removed using concentrated abrasive media, resulting in a smoother, more polished surface.
- Rust removal – The high velocity of precise peening blasting media generates enough force to remove oxidation from the material’s surface.
- Scaling – Shot blasting improves the durability of the workpiece by removing mill scale and oxidized, flaky material from the surface. Shot media can penetrate hard-to-reach areas and remove mill scale.
