Rotational Shot Peening

Rotary wheel blasting accelerates abrasive media via rotating wheels to ensure uniform treatment of complex parts.

Physicochemical Mechanism of Action

Blasting media like laser or electron beams are accelerated over rotating impeller wheels or throwing wheels. This raises the speed and ensures even distribution of the beam on the working surface.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

Even beam distribution prevents uneven deformation and hot cracks. Missing rotor rotation can lead to an irregular weld structure and reduced toughness.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

Make sure the rotating wheels are correctly fitted and checked regularly. The rotation speed should be set so even beam distribution on the working surface is ensured.
