Shot Peening Services
Shot peening is a cold working process used to enhance the fatigue strength, stress resistance, and lifespan of metal components. By bombarding the surface with small spherical media (shot), we create a uniform layer of compressive stress that helps prevent cracking, stress corrosion, and fatigue failure — especially in high-performance applications.
Benefits of Shot Peening:
- Increases fatigue life of critical components
- Enhances resistance to stress corrosion and cracking
- Improves surface strength without changing part geometry
- Ideal for aerospace, automotive, energy, and precision tooling industries
Capabilities:
- Controlled intensity and coverage to meet exact specifications
- Variety of shot media available (steel, ceramic, glass, etc.)
- Surface preparation or final finishing options
- Compatible with parts of various sizes and geometries
- Certification available to AMS 2430, AMS 2432, and other industry standards
At Directional Manufacturing, our shot peening process is tightly controlled and fully documented to ensure quality, consistency, and compliance with your technical requirements.
