Ultrasonic Shot Peening

Ultrasonic Shot Peening

Ultrasonic Shot Peening technology allows the use of high quality beads. Quality beads combined to the real-time control of parameters, ensures a repeatable and efficient treatment. Ultrasonic Shot Peening (USP)  induces a low roughness and a better surface quality compared to the conventional shot peening. This has a direct influence on fatigue-life enhancement.

 Increasing productivity and quality

Cost reductions 

  - Improving fatigue life
 - Treatment of complex geometry parts
 - Process control and repeatability
 - Low roughness (see images below)
  - Shorter treatment cycle time
 - Reducing consumption of beads, energy and compressed air
 - Integration in the production line (lean manufacturing)
 - “In situ” treatment often possible without having to dismantle parts
