Ceramic Sand AZB150 for Aviation Shot Peening possesses moderate hardness and excellent toughness. Its spherical particles ensure uniform impact on aerospace components, preventing microcracks and stress concentration. It exhibits good chemical stability and is free of iron ion contamination, avoiding intergranular corrosion in aerospace materials such as titanium alloys and high-temperature alloys, thus meeting the stringent surface cleanliness requirements of aerospace applications. During shot peening, it forms a stable residual compressive stress layer on the workpiece surface, significantly improving the fatigue life and fracture resistance of aerospace components.
This Ceramic shot abrasive boasts a high reusability, low dust production, and minimal wear on equipment, making it suitable for standardized shot peening processes for critical components such as aircraft engines and structural parts. Its uniform particle size and stable flowability achieve consistent surface strengthening effects, fully meeting the high-precision and high-reliability quality standards of the aerospace industry.
