FAQ: What is Shot Peening?
- Shot peening is a cold working technique that enhances the surface qualities of metal parts by striking them with small, spherical particles known as “shot.” This bombardment induces compressive stresses on the surface, which helps enhance the material’s resistance to fatigue, wear, and stress corrosion cracking.
