Recommended Materials & Processes

For an optimal and sustainable result, we recommend the following materials and process optimizations. These recommendations are based on years of expertise in the aviation industry.

S

Steel Shot Material

Use of high-quality, certified steel for consistent impact and a perfect compressive stress layer. Essential for critical turbine components.

Recommended for: Turbine Blades
C

Advanced Coverage Control

Implement an automated system for 200% coverage verification. Ensures complete and documentable surface treatment.

Recommended for: All highly stressed components
A

Almen Intensity Optimization

Choose a customized Almen intensity based on the specific alloy and load. Maximum resistance to metal fatigue.

Recommended for: Landing Gear

Our Advice: Try This

For an initial evaluation, we recommend having a test batch of critical components treated according to our optimized specifications. We analyze the result and provide you with a detailed report on the improved material properties.

Result: Measurable increase in fatigue life and resistance to stress corrosion.

Next Step

Increase the lifespan of your critical components

Our shot peening technology induces a protective compressive stress in the metal surface. This is the proven solution to delay metal fatigue and stress corrosion in turbine blades and landing gear, ensuring operational safety.
