Outstanding performance in peening of metallic surfaces
Shot peening with Microshot YZ allows achieving:
- Higher compressive especially at the surface of the substrate
- Smooth and homogeneous finish that minimizes crack initiation
- No particle embedment
- Durable and stable media even at high peening intensities
- Easy separation thanks to higher density, especially for ultra-fine sizes (<100µm)
Guaranteed quality and versatility
Microsht YZ is engineered to the highest specifications of advanced ceramic materials and technology. It is a precision product with class-leading physical characteristics and performance, that conforms the most stringent shot peening standards.
