ENGINEERABLE

This article is about shot peening titanium for the purpose of creating a more scratch resistant surface finish, not to improve the mechanical properties like shot peening is normally used for. Titanium is an excellent material for many applications that require strength, light weight and corrosion resistance, but even in it's strongest and hardest alloy (GR5), it is still relatively soft metal compared to steel and therefore scratches easily. When using titanium for applicat
