Shot peening extends the working life of crucial aeroplane components. A factor of 100 times the working life can be achieved.

Shot peening and high-end blasting in the aerospace industry

Aeroplane components are subject to constantly changing loads, so that the dangers of metal fatigue are always lurking around the corner. Shot peening is the proven solution for this. Straaltechniek has been applying this technique successfully for years on (for instance) undercarriages, turbine blades, discs and shafts.
