Shot peening services.Godfrey & Wing now offers shot peening Shot peening is a process used to produce a compressive residual stress layer and modify mechanical properties of metals. It entails impacting a surface with shot (round metallic, glass or ceramic particles) with force sufficient to create plastic deformation. services as one of its primary metal finishing processes. Shot peening, a mechanical surface treatment, enables components to carry higher cyclic stresses Cyclic stress in engineering refers is an internal distribution of forces (a stress) that changes over time in a repetitive fashion. As an example, consider one of the large wheels used to drive an aerial lift such as a ski lift. by inhibiting the propagation The transmission (spreading) of signals from one place to another. of microscopic fractures in the material surface. The process impinges the surface of the metal component with spherical spher·i·cal adj. Having the shape of or approximating a sphere; globular. media at controlled flow rates and velocities and can peen all types of components and materials.--Godfrey & Wing Select No. 005 at www.moderncasting.com/info |
