Product Description
We are a factory that professionally supplies the shot peening process for aluminum metal materials.
Shot Peening is a proven technique used in aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing industries to improve the performance of metal components subjected to high stress and wear. The process bombards metal surfaces with small spherical particles (steel shot or glass beads) at high velocity, creating residual compressive stress that counteracts tensile stresses and prevents material failure.
This mechanical surface treatment reduces surface roughness while increasing hardness, significantly enhancing material durability and resistance to fatigue, corrosion, and wear. The process extends product lifespan and is particularly effective for components exposed to demanding operating conditions.
