Surface Engineering

Sandwell surface engineering processes are designed to improve performance of components by enhancing material properties to increase fatigue life, increase fatigue strength, reduce friction and reduce effects of corrosive environments.

Controlled Shot Peening produces a static compressive strength in the surface and sub surface of the material which remains with the part during service.

This compressive stress reduces the effect of the any applied tensile stresses resulting in an increased tolerance to load with a resulting improvement in fatigue performance and predicted life.

Shot Peening is a cost effective method of improving component life or increasing fatigue limits for increased load applications. MORE...

Isotropic Superfinishing is used to produce a high quality surface finish to components. Typically used on components where high contact stresses are present. The improvements in surface finish gained by superfinishing can reduce wear, reduce stress concentrations and improve overall finish whilst extending component life. MORE...

In order to obtain the best performance from components our engineers can discuss the best specification for each application.

We are always happy to work to your drawing specifications, if you require a discussion on any application contact our engineers.

If you have a specific requirement or application then contact us and we will be happy to help. We pride ourselves on quality of service and quick turnaround.
