Shot Peening
Increase Your Fatigue Strength with Saturn Machine Shot Peening
Saturn Machine Works has been providing quality shot peening services for many years. We service the oil industry, mining, automotive and heavy equipment manufacturers.
Having a range of small cabinets for S110 and S230 shot, we can handle small parts, and tubulars to 30 feet long. Our large peening room can handle parts to 10,000lbs. A variety of media types are available from hardened cast steel to stainless steel shot.
Our in-house qualification and verification process is achieved using certified Almen Test strips and Almen Gage, to ensure correct ARC values meet the requirements of SAE J442, along with AMS2430.
To ensure proper coverage, a UV dye (Fluoro-Finder III Tracer) is used along with a certified UV light source, to yield accurate coverage and repeatable results.
Shot is re-captured, sieved and cleaned to ensure the media is free of contaminants or fractured media, and that there is no cross contamination between media sizes.
Glass beading is available to decontaminate shot peened parts if necessary.
BENEFITS OF SHOT PEENING
- Increase fatigue strength of new or used parts.
- Add compressive stresses to increase part life.
- Relieve tensile stresses that contribute to stress-corrosion cracking.
- Improves resistance to intergranular corrosion.
- Reduce fretting and galling in gears and mechanical parts.
- Reduce galling and increase fatigue strength in API Connections.
- Enhances lubricity by creating dimples to retain oils and lubricants.
- Creates a uniform surface texture.
- Creates a consistent prepared surface for the application of surface coatings.
