Wet shot peening turbine and fan blades

The lifespan of a turbine blade can be extended more than 1000% by wet shot peening. As well as peening to the same intensity as dry blasting it’s gentler on more delicate surfaces thanks to the cushioning effect of water.
There are several other benefits our customers have experienced when wet shot peening aerospace fan and turbine blades compared with their legacy dry shot peening systems, including:

Vapormatt Profelis: 5 finishing processes for bandsaw blades, 1 wet blasting machine (also called vapor blasting machine, vapour blasting machine, aqua blasting machine) – When configured for bandsaw blades our automatic Profelis wet blasting machine can…

- Hone cutting teeth – Applying a small radius to cutting teeth dramatically reduces heat build-up and the likelihood of chipping

- Clean bandsaw blades - Removing oils, dust, debris and other contaminants

The most efficient way to repair and refurbish wheels

Wet blasting (or vapor blasting, or vapour blasting, or aqua blasting to give it its other names) quickly and efficiently removes dirt, grime, brake dust, and other stubborn contaminants from the surface of alloy wheels. As well as cleaning wheels, wet blasting can be used to remove coatings like lacquers.

Water in the wet blasting process aids controllability and delivers a smoother, more consistent finish compared with dry blasting. It’s also gentler on surfaces minimising the risk of damage.

When the strength of composite bonds really counts!

Thanks to its strength and lightweight, the use of composite materials is widespread.
 
Traditional fasteners like bolts add weight and introduce potential areas of weakness, countering the very reason for using composite materials in the first place. That’s why most composite materials are bonded together.
 

Thorough and efficient removal of powder from complex internal channels

The liquid nature of wet blasting makes it ideal for penetrating the complex internal channels that are so typical of additive manufactured components.
 
Wet blasting rapidly removes un-sintered or partially sintered powder and even gives a visible indication the channel is clear when the blast slurry exits the channel.
