What's the difference?
What is the difference between sandblasting, shot blasting and shot peening? Which one should I consider for metal surface preparation?
Sandblasting
Abrasive Process
Sandblasting is a process that uses high-pressure sand particles to clean or abrade a surface. It is commonly used to remove dirt, paint or rusted surfaces and prepare them for subsequent painting or other surface treatments.
Shot and Abrasive Media
Silica sand, Garnet, Alumina, Glass beads
Applications
Glass etching, concrete cleaning, and rust removal on parts like automotive body panels and industrial equipment.

用途
Micro- Shot Peening
Micro Particle Impact
Shot peening is a process that strengthens material performance by controlling the impact of metal shot particles. This creates compressive stress on the surface, enhancing the material’s fatigue resistance and durability.
Shot and Abrasive Media
Steel Shot, Ceramic Beads, Glass Beads
Applications
Strengthens parts such as gears, springs, aircraft components, and crankshafts, improving fatigue resistance and durability.
Mirror Shot Polish
SMAP Mirror Finish
Using ultra-fine diamond powder (#3000-#10000 grit) for high-speed friction on metal surfaces produces a cutting effect, removing roughness and achieving a mirror-like finish on the metal.
Shot and Abrasive Media
Diamond powder
Applications
Typically utilized when a mirror finish is required, especially so on irregular shaped parts.
