Add Shot-Peening to your Ring and Pinion Gear. This surface improvement decreases the likelihood of cracks forming on the gear.
Nearly all fatigue cracks begin at the surface of the part. By overlapping the dimples of the media, Shot-Peening creates a compression zone at the surface of the part. This layer acts as a barrier to crack propagation. The peening process provides a considerable increase in part life. The M/W Shot-Peening treatment features a CNC controlled process that ensures consistent shot peen coverage. Patterned after the SAE J-2441 standard, a controlled process with verification is used to ensure the correct stress and quality of shot peen are achieved.
