Impact Finishers offers solutions to enhance fatigue life on areas where problems have arisen due to fatigue cracks during service. Shot peening is used where components are under fluctuating loads, in particular on construction equipment, cranes, diggers, suspension bridges, and aerial platforms.

Impact Finishers offers shot peening prior to chrome plating as a crack stopper. As chrome is brittle when it cracks, the crack will propagate into the parent metal causing the component to fatigue. Shot peening prior to chroming will reduce the risk dramatically and eliminate the crack going further past the parent metal.
