Shot peening extends the working life of crucial parts of wind and gas turbines. Factor 100 is no exception in this respect.

Shot peening and high-end blasting in the energy industry

Wind and gas turbines must be able to withstand extremely high loads. They are exposed to fluctuating stresses and gas turbine blades must be resistant to high temperatures. This combination can give rise to metal fatigue and subsequent breakage. Shot peening is the proven solution here, the technique which Straaltechniek has been successfully applying for years as the innovator in this field.
