Surfex Robotic Shot Peening Machines With Following Features:
The shot peening process is based on the effect of introducing compressive stresses in the surface of a metal part by controlled impinging with spherical particles. By this the resistance against fatigue will be increased and therefore also the life of a part.In the space and aircraft-industries the advantages of the shot peening process are already known: the increase of the fatigue-life of critical parts without weight increase. The designers who used shot peening in applications where the effects of fatigue were caused by grinding, electrical discharge- and electrochemical-machining (EDM and ECM), electroplating, anodising, thermal spraying and welding. It also can help increase resistance to fretting, galling, caviation erosion, stress-corrosion cracking, intergranulair corrosion and hydrogen-embrittlement.
