Shot peening is a process of compressing and strengthening metal surfaces using mechanical stress. It has been used since prehistoric times and is now done by machine using metal shot. Shot peening is used to improve metal parts that experience repeated stress and deformation, such as gears and crankshafts. Laser peening is a specialized area […]
Laser peening is a metalworking process that improves mechanical properties by directing laser pulses at the surface of a metal object. It is similar to shot peening but replaces metal or ceramic balls with laser pulses. The process can improve corrosion resistance, fatigue strength, residual stresses, and wear resistance. Laser peening can be used on […]
