Shot peening not only improves component properties but also allows for dimensional optimization.
The compressive residual stresses introduced during shot peening specifically reduce the risk of fracture in critical cross-sections such as notches and shoulders on shafts and axles, and they relieve stress in the component surface layer during operation. The plastic deformation of the surface increases surface hardness and results in greater wear resistance.
AMMANN Components has proven know-how and experience in the targeted strengthening of a wide variety of components. Developers and manufacturers in motorsports rely on AMMANN Components to selectively strengthen heavily loaded transmission gears. These parts are used in Formula 1 and other racing vehicles.
We provide in-depth consulting when components need to be optimized for weight and load capacity. Our experts welcome special challenges involving highly stressed parts.
Reliable systems and production processes, as well as comprehensive final inspections, ensure that the specifications requested by the customer are met. Fixture construction is also carried out in-house. Comprehensive documentation completes the process.
