Superior Shot Peening and Coatings

Shot peening commercial metal can increase its lifespan dramatically. For example, spring life can increase by up to 200 percent. Because metal is used in a variety of equipment in industries such as oil and gas, by default, peening also increases the lifespan of the equipment. Why is Peening Important? Consider three ways that a […]

Shot peening can enhance the toughness of almost any metal and drastically lengthen its lifespan, saving your company money and keeping your business running smoothly. This process is useful for mechanics, engineers, and essentially anyone who relies on metal parts, though it is especially lucrative for people in the oil and gas industry. Consider three […]

Experts now view chrome coatings as a less-desirable type of coating, especially when compared to a similar option, High-Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF). According to statistics cited by The Welding Institute (TWI), the HVOF protective coating compares favorably to chrome coatings by providing necessary coverage for today’s industrial parts. Specifically, HVOF provides 4-5 times more abrasion […]

Non-destructive testing (NDT) represents a critical step in the process of protecting critical parts to prolong the life of industrial equipment. Consider this roadmap of success to ultimately extend the life of your equipment: Identify a potential problem with an industrial part. Utilize a Non-destructive testing method to gather information about the problem. Use the […]

Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a valuable type of Non-destructive Testing (NDT) method that provides a reliable picture of the condition of critical industrial parts. Ultrasonic testing may not provide a complete picture of the condition of the part due to some limitations, but this type of NDT is highly reliable to establish a baseline understanding […]

Three decades ago, Superior Shot Peening & Coatings co-founders Jack Blasingame and Albert Johnson had an idea. The idea was to take their knowledge and experience with shot peening, utilize the shot peening machines they were familiar with, and solve a need for customers in the oil and gas industry with a revolutionary approach to […]

Powder coating is a versatile type of protective coating that extends the usefulness of industrial parts used in key industries. Specifically, industrial powder coating supports corrosion control, improves aesthetics or appearance, creates electrical insulation, and enhances flow. Powder coating also creates very durable, smooth surfaces for parts, which allows equipment to function at peak performance. […]

In the finishing treatment and protective coating industry, there are two important types of processes to improve the quality and durability of industrial parts. Specifically, shot blasting and metalizing. Finishing Treatment: What is Shot Blasting? Shot blasting is a finishing process that uses abrasives to treat industrial parts. The purpose could be to restore the […]

Heavy-duty industries such as aerospace, energy, oil and gas, and manufacturing require protective coatings for their critical parts. Parts used in these industries are exposed to a tremendous amount of stress, wear, and extreme conditions. Without a protective coating, parts will wear down, causing stress to critical equipment, which often leads to costly downtime and […]

Companies in the food and beverage industry constantly need to protect the integrity of their parts used in industrial equipment. The risk of contamination, FDA violations, and unnecessary cost is too high when parts wear down or corrode. A solution to address worn down and corrosive parts is to use thermal spray coating. This type […]
