Ultrasonic shot peening (Usp)
Ultrasonic shot peening of complex parts is carried out due to the kinetic energy of moving steel balls
using (or not using) fine-dispersion powdered alloying materials.
Ultrasonic deformational hardening benefits:
- static strength increase by 13 ... 50%;
- life stress cycles increase up to 10 times;
- dimensional changes – 1 ... 2 μm
Advantages:
- automatic part identification and appropriate program selection
- modern component base
- compact size
- user-friendly and intuitive interface
- possibility of remote monitoring and factory networking
- possibility of remote updating of the expert system intelligent database (in order to simplify the selection of machining modes for new parts)
- hardened parts automatic counting
- work logging
- programs database storage and modification
Ultrasonic hardening application area:
- parts of aircraft gas turbine engines,
- parts of vehicle gearbox, transfer case and chassis,
- engine parts (connecting rods, bolts, levers, valves),
- sports weapon parts,
- stamping equipment, metalwork and assembly tools.
