Is shot peening and shot blasting process same?


We all like the shiny and brilliant look of the metal components used in various appliances, devices and equipment. The two most common methods used for metal finishing are shot peening and shot blasting and these produce different results given the different processes they use. This contradicts the common notion that both these methods are same and can be used interchangeably.
The method of shot peening is based on plasticity of the blasting process and is used to pound a piece of metal into a desired shape. It does not remove too much material and also minimizes dust production. This method is generally used for creating a perfect finish for a variety of metal based objects including different types of steel, cast iron and nonferrous alloys of aluminium, titanium and magnesium.
The method of shot blasting is based on an abrasive process which means that the chips the pieces of metal away for finishing. It is aimed at either cleaning a surface or preparing it for further treatment. Shot blasting is mostly used for castings, forgings and stampings to create a uniform surface texture. It can also be used for descaling, deburring and deflashing of surfaces in a wide variety of industries including marine, automotive, medical applications and mining. Mayflay Machinery (Huizhou) Co.,Ltd is one of the most recommended names for both these processes.

What is sand blasting machine ? Sand blasting   is the technique of mechanical surface cleaning which uses compressed air as its power shots the high speed abrasive sand stream to the surface of work piece. Due to the impacting and cutting effect of the abrasive sand, the work piece surface is completely cleaned. At the same time, the surface quality and mechanical performance is greatly improved. It is widely used in a variety of different industries with many diverse purposes. Sand blasting is also used in refurnishing sports part of car, motorcycle, electro mechanical device, etc. It helps in removing surface marks of metal/non-metal items, dumb face and fog treatment processing to enhance the product grade. Sand blasting   is also known as abrasive blasting. It is a process where fine granular sand is applied high pressure against a rough surface keeping in mind the end goal to smooth that surface out. In this process, the abrasive material is pushed,...

Blasting is the techniques of removing dust, coating, polishing of different surfaces. There are many types of blasting process available according to the requirement like shot peening blasting. It puts small dents on the surface to give a finish where required and helps in wear resistance of the surface. The different types of blasting: Soda blasting Shot Grit Blasting Steel sandblasting Glass Bead blasting Bristle blasting Water blasting Air Blasting Sand abrasive blasting There is most common way of blasting and we called it sand blasting. It uses small grains of garnet for removing coating or polishing a surface. It is composed with the stream of compressed air that helps in acceleration of the particles while water blasting uses high pressure water guns to clean surfaces. They are available in both big and small sizes so they used in home as well as in industry also. Mayflay High Pressure Manual Abrasive Blast Cabinet Sandblasting Machine: ...
