Aviation Standard AMS 2431/6C Shot Peening Glass Beads

Aviation shot peening glass beads are a material used for surface treatment of metal parts in the aviation industry. They are spherical particles made from broken glass sand such as broken glass and flat glass, which are melted and processed at high temperatures. Glass pellets rely on power such as compressed air or mechanical centrifugal force to spray and cover the surface of the workpiece at high speed. The impact force of the pellets forms residual compressive stress on the surface of the part, effectively suppressing the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks, thereby improving the fatigue strength and corrosion resistance of the part. Shot peening glass beads (glass shot) have strict particle size distribution and roundness standards, and the shot blasting effect is uniform.

Product Advantages
