Surface Treatment

GKN Aerospace Norway AS has specialized departments dedicated to surface treatment, shot peening, and balancing of engine components in the aviation industry. Surface treatment involves various processes to enhance metal surfaces, increasing their resistance to corrosion and wear. Shot peening is a cold-working process where small spheres bombard the surface of a component, creating compressive residual stresses and improving fatigue strength. Balancing engine components ensures that rotating parts, such as turbines and compressors, spin smoothly and steadily, reducing vibrations and extending their lifespan. These processes are critical to ensuring reliability, performance, and safety in aircraft engines.
