The Evolution of Shot Peening Technology: How Automated Machines are Revolutionizing the Industry Shot peening is a surface treatment process that has been used for decades to improve the fatigue life of metal components. The process involves bombarding the surface of the metal with small, spherical particles, typically made of steel or ceramic, at high velocities. This creates a layer of compressive residual stress on the surface, which helps to prevent fatigue cracks from forming. While shot peening has been around for a long time, the technology has evolved significantly…
