Hard shot peening

Collisions of the shots which are small and hard balls of steel quickly through the Normal shot peening on the surface after carbonization and induction hardening will enhance the hardness of the parts and fatigue strength.

Effect of compressive residual stress

  • TSCM620Carburizing + Hard shot peening
  • SCr420Carbonitriding + Hard shot peening
  • SCr420Carburizing + Usual shot peening
  • SCr420Carburizing
Compressive residual stress

Because the tensile stress on the surface can be reduced by high compressive remaining stress occurring from hard shot peening, the effect can see in improving fatigue life.
