Our services

  • Controlled Shot Peening
    Prevents fatigue, stress corrosion cracking, fretting, galling and increases wear resistance
  • Shot Peen Forming
    Uses beneficial compressive stresses to create curvature and profile from flat panels. Similarly will correct distortion from machining and heat treatment
  • Laser Peening
    Induces compressive residual stresses 5 to 10 times deeper than shot peening with minimal surface disruption
  • Isotropic Finishing (Superfinishing)
    Reduces wear and friction and improves resistance to micro and macro-pitting
