Mechanical selective surface hardening

Process Material property-changing processing in which a ball-shaped punch strikes the material to create residual stresses in the surface.

Process Material property-altering process where the material is first coated and then bombarded with a laser to form powerful pressure waves that causes compressive stresses in the material to a specific predetermined depth.

Process Material property-changing process in which a ball-shaped punch is pushed and pulled along the material to create residual stresses in the surface.

Process Material property-changing process in which a tool with flaps rotate and turn on the material to provide a local hardening surface.

Process Material property-changing operation where shots are fired at a material so that its surface is partially deformed and there are residual stresses.
