MIL provides the shot peen process to accompany our other capabilities, serving the aerospace, medical, and power generation industries. We currently have two machines online with additional capacity forthcoming.
Shot Peening
Shot peen, a cold-working metal process, is performed by directing a controlled stream of round particles (shot) against a metallic surface, creating a compressive layer in that surface. While the primary purpose of this layer of compressed material is to provide resistance to fatigue cracking, the consequential work hardening of the surface can provide the added benefit of resistance to fretting and wear. To accurately repeat this process requires a heightened degree of control and precision.

Abrasive Blasting, also known as sandblasting or grit blasting, refers to the process of propelling a stream of abrasive particles against a surface via specialized blast equipment. This process is used to remove coatings and surface contaminants, or to alter texture, either for cosmetic purposes or to provide increased coating adhesion.
Product up to 11’ long and 3’ wide can be processed readily at MIL in one of our manual grit blast cabinets. Smaller parts requiring precision blasting can be processed in our Pencil Blast Cabinet.
