Cur urrent ent Stat ate e of The e Art 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.
