Explore the profound differences between shot peening and conventional blasting techniques, their benefits, applications across industries, and how CMV® offers comprehensive shot peening solutions tailored to diverse needs.
Differences between shot peening machine and conventional blasting
-
Angle of attack and release position of abrasive (spheres) against the workpiece.
-
Volume of abrasive launched.
-
Abrasive launching speed.
-
Abrasive rating, including size and roundness.
Benefits of shot peening
-
Forming (deforming or straightening workpieces).
-
Improves resistance to mechanical and thermal fatigue.
-
Enhances corrosion and friction resistance.
-
Allows size and weight reduction without compromising mechanical strength.
-
Eliminates directional risk of machining or micro-cracks, inhibiting crack propagation.
Applications
-
Automotive industry: springs, gears, torsion bars, rods, crankshafts, axles, and suspension arms.
-
Metalworking industry: cutting tools, stamping, forging (mostly cold).
-
Aerospace industry: Shot peening is extensively used, treating various components of turbines, structural parts, and landing gear.
