There are important differences between Shot Blasting and Shot Peening. When searching for shot peening services near me, it is imperative to know the difference. Shot blasting is a process with no set parameters. Shot blasting allows you to accelerate media at a part without regard as to how hard it is impacting the surface. Shot Peening uses controlled parameters to reach the target impact velocity to impinge the part with a specified intensity, meaning you’re controlling how hard you hit the part. Shot Blasting is simply shot peening without parameters. It is used to either clean parts in preparation for another process or as a final finish. Shot Peening works because the process utilizes compressive stress to help reduce the formation of microcracks. The compressive layer created prevents cracks from forming through it. Shot peening services are particularly applicable in industries like aerospace where metal components will be placed under intense stress but cannot afford to crack or fail.

We fulfill all metal finishing needs of prototype and production parts, which include degreasing and surface preparation. Our commercial metal finishing services also include OEM and aftermarket part preparation for plating, coating, painting, anodizing, heat treating, and more.

It may be thought that metal finishing is not an essential process for some manufacturers, or a major priority, especially for prototypes. However, metal finishing is not simply for aesthetics. Proper metal finishing will enhance metal parts in multiple ways. Depending on the use of your component, you may want it to have enhanced strength characteristics, become free of flaws, or textured correctly to hold plating, painting or lubricant. Finishing processes help to enhance the overall quality of a part, elevating it from a standard piece to the beginnings of, or a completed fully actualized component. Whether you’re prepping for another stage or utilizing finishing as a final process, metal finishing is often a must.
