Surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT)1 Surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) Surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) and conventional shot peening (SP) are both surface treatment processes that can refine the surface of metallic materials. However, they differ in the size of the shot used and the velocity at which it is applied. SMAT uses a larger shot size (1-8 mm) than SP (0.25-1 mm) and applies it at a lower velocity. This results in a more uniform surface finis.. 2023. 8. 28. 이전 1 다음
