Shot Peening
Shot Peening Services for Rotational Mould Tools
Enhance Durability and Add Precision Texture with In-House Shot Peening
At A.S. Sheetmetal Ltd, we offer specialised shot peening services tailored specifically for rotational mould tools. Our in-house shot peening process strengthens your tooling by imparting a compressive stress layer, which extends tool life and improves performance under thermal and mechanical stress.
Additionally, we use shot peening to add controlled surface texture to aluminium tools, enhancing mould release properties, coating adhesion, and the overall finish of your rotationally moulded products.
What is Shot Peening?
Shot peening is a cold working process where small spherical shots are blasted against the metal surface, acting like millions of tiny hammers. This creates a layer of compressive stress that:
Increases fatigue strength and durability
Reduces risk of cracking and surface failure
Enhances resistance to heat, corrosion, and wear
Creates a uniform, controlled surface texture when applied to aluminium tools
