Work rk Hardening dening The currently most popular work hardening surface treatment techniques are: Shot Peening

Sho hot peen peenin ing is a cold working process used to produce a compressive residual stress layer and modify mechanical properties of metals and

• composites. It entails impacting a surface with shot (round metallic, glass, or

ceramic particles) with force sufficient to create plastic deformation Compa panie ies: Curtiss – Wright, Straaltechniek, Weelabrator

Ultra Sonic Impact Treatment

In Ultrasonic Impact Treatment, ultrasonic waves are produced by an electro- mechanical ultrasonic transducer, and applied to a workpiece. The energy from these high frequency impulses is imparted to the treated surface through mandatory contact of specially designed tools for impact treatment with freely movable strikers that are mounted in a holder. Compa panie ies: Sonats, Applied Ultrasonics

Work rk Hardening dening The currently most popular work hardening surface treatment techniques are: Low Plasticity Burnishing

Low Pl Plasti asticit city Bur Burni nishi shing ng is a method that provides surface compressive residual stresses. The basic tool is a ball that is supported in a spherical hydrostatic bearing. The tool is usually held in a CNC. The machine tool coolant is used to pressurize the bearing with a continuous flow of fluid to support the ball. The ball rolls across the surface of a component in a pattern. Compa panie ies: Lambda Technologies Group

Laser Peening

Laser peening is a mechanical surface enhancement process. Using a high energy pulsed laser beam, shock waves which are generated and propagate through the material are responsible for inducing cold work into the microstructure and contributing to the increased performance of the material Compa panie ies: Curtiss – Wright S
