  1. Shot Peen Forming

    Shot Peen Forming
    Creates curvature in aircraft wing skins to enhance lift and efficiency and to protect against fatigue. Also used to correct the distortion of components following manufacturing.
  2. Shot Peen Forming Airframe Components

    Shot Peen Forming Airframe Components

    We also provide shot peen forming for aircraft components. Aircraft components that have been shot peened show increased resistance to flexural bending fatigue and stress corrosion cracking.

  3. Shot Peen Forming Crankshafts

    Shot Peen Forming Crankshafts

    Shot peening forming is ideal for creating the complex curvatures in crankshafts.  The use of shot peening to form crankshafts can increase resistance to flexural bending fatigue and stress corrosion cracking.

  4. Shot Peen Forming Rocket Structure

    Shot Peen Forming Rocket Structure

    Thanks to the controlled process of shot peen forming surfaces can be manipulated into complex contours for example those found on a rocket structure.

  5. Shot Peen Forming Wing Skins

    Shot Peen Forming Wing Skins

    Curtiss Wright Surface Technologies specialises in shot peen forming wing skins. By carrying out the shot peen forming process is the preferred method of forming aerodynamic contours of aircraft wing skins.
