What is shot peening?
Shot peening enhances the life of your part for immediate and long-term use. The process has been proven to prevent fatigue and stress corrosion failures and prolong product life for the finished parts.

How is shot peening performed?
Thousands of small spherical balls, referred to as shot, bombard the surface of the part to be finished. As the shot continues to strike the part, it forms multiple overlapping dimples throughout the surface being treated. The surface compression stress strengthens the metal, ensuring that the finished part will resist fatigue failures, corrosion fatigue and cracking, and galling and erosion from cavitation.
