Applications of air blasting (sand blasting)

Air blasting (sand blasting) is used in various fields of various industries.
It can be used in a variety of situations, from manual labor replacement to research and development of new products.

Surface modification by shot peening/fine particle peening (WPC treatment ®/α treatment ®)
There are various methods of surface modification technology for the purpose of improving wear resistance and fatigue strength. It is widely used mainly in the automobile, aircraft, and tool industries as a construction method that is difficult to achieve and can achieve significant wear resistance and fatigue strength improvement at the same time.

We have developed fine particle peening "WPC treatment" and "α treatment" that evolved from conventional shot peening. In addition to improving wear resistance and fatigue strength, it is possible to improve slidability while suppressing surface roughness, reduce frictional resistance, prevent lubricating oil from running out, and make new surface modifications such as nano-crystallization of the surface layer. increase. Here, we will explain in detail how shot peening, WPC treatment, and α treatment improve wear resistance, fatigue strength, and slidability.
