Steel Shot is round in appearance, it is considered non-hazardous and contaminant free as received. During use it produces no free silica or associated respiratory and environmental hazards. Steel Shot Shot peening is often called for to relieve tensile stresses built up manufacturing processes and replace them with beneficial compressive stresses. Depending on the part geometry & part material, shot peening can increase fatigue life up to 1000%. It's commonly used to peen aerospace components, automotive suspension springs, power transmission, wind energy, engine components, mining, oil & gas and many other applications for improving the fatigue life of metal components. Exceeding the life of aluminium oxide, glass beads, mineral abrasives, garnet or slag by nearly 1000 to 1, AMASTEEL can significantly reduce your raw material and disposal costs.
