Ceramic Shot Peening & Blasting Services
Ceramic shot peening and shot blasting is one of the most widely used processes for improving the wear properties of metal surfaces, usually for gears and other complex shapes. Using ceramic and virgin media, shot peening creates dimples on the surface of the gear. The dimples retain beneficial oils and eliminate geartooth pitting, increasing the strength and fatigue life of the gear.
Ceramic beads, due to their toughness and density, are ideally suited to shot blasting. They maintain their shape, resulting in a consistent surface finish. In addition, surfaces finished with ceramic beads are less prone to stains or blemishes during use.
