Abstract:
In the aircraft industry exist a lot of applications for shot peening and blasting. Forming of aircraft wing sections is a well known procedure. Shot peening of forgings
manufactured from A1 and Ti is necessary before the parts will be installed into the airframe. During overhaul a great number of high heat treated steel parts will be shot
peened for bettering the fatigue life and for corrosion prevention.
N
early all parts of the undercarriages of the aircrafts are
chrome-plated in areas of high stresses. Before chrome-plating the parts must be shot peened to compensate the tensile stress of the chrome deposits by producing
compressive stresses. Turbine blades and vanes will be peened by glass-beads to get better fatigue life. Many aircraft parts from the airframe from undercarriages and from
the engines will be overhauled by application of plating deposits. To get a good adhesion between base material and the layer, the parts will be blasted for activation by
A1-Oxid. All peening and blasting procedures must be carried out accurately with reliable and repeatable processes.
