When it comes to construction, strength and durability are paramount. Building structures that can withstand the test of time and environmental factors is crucial for safety and longevity. One technique that plays a significant role in achieving this goal is shot peening. In this blog post, we'll explore how shot peening contributes to building strength in construction projects and its relevance in various applications, including the cutting stone (in German this is known as steinschneiden)... Shot peening is a surface treatment process that involves bombarding a material's surface with small, spherical particles, typically made of steel, glass, or ceramic. These particles, known as "shots," are propelled onto the material's surface at high velocity. The impact of the shots induces compressive stresses in the surface layer, effectively strengthening it... In construction, the structural integrity of components such as steel beams, bolts, and fasteners is critical. These components..
