Hi
Do any of you have experience with shot peening of titanium springs? If so, which type of shots is best for this process? Will stainless steel shots be sufficient?
And is heat treatment after the peening necessary?
My goal with the shot peening is to increase fatique resistans and to have a...
Hi guys
A bit delayed, but thank you very much for your answers.
I have just recieved the springs from the manufacturer, and they sandblasted them instead of shot peening. I guess the communication with chinese factories can be difficult sometimes...
Nevertheless, I am now trying to find out...
Thanks for your answer. I know corrosion isn't a big issue, but the clear coat will improve the overall "toughness" of the surface. Kronos springs describe their process here (but no clues about the type of clear coat): http://www.springtime.vg/titanium-1.html
Hi
I have a couple of titanium springs in production, made for testing on downhill mountainbikes. The springs are made of Ti-3Al8V6Cr4Mo4Zr, which has been sand blasted after production of the springs.
My question is: Which type of clear coating should be used for this type of spring? They will...
