Shot peening is a cold surface treatment where small balls are shot at high speed onto a metal component. This process induces compressive stress in the surface layer, which significantly increases resistance to metal fatigue and stress corrosion.
Our treatment is particularly suitable for critical parts such as turbine blades, landing gear, shaft components, and other structural components subject to high cyclic loads.
The main benefits are a greatly increased fatigue strength, improved resistance to stress corrosion, extension of the component's service life, and increased reliability under extreme operating conditions.
Yes, we work strictly according to applicable aviation standards and specifications, such as AMS, SAE, and OEM procedures. Our processes are fully documented and traceable.
