Cell Lab CZ Ceramic Shots for Shot Peening [1 kg]

Aerospace-Grade Ceramic Media for Fatigue Life, Residual Stress & Surface Integrity

The Cell Lab CZ Ceramic Shots are precision ceramic peening media engineered to enhance component fatigue life, introduce deep residual compressive stress, and deliver consistent surface finishes. Designed for shot peening, peen-forming, straightening, and surface strengthening on hardened steels, high strength steels, stainless steel, and aerospace components, these ceramic shot beads meet or exceed AMS2431/7B standards. Available in a full range of sizes, they offer optimal hardness, density, and bead uniformity for superior performance in demanding peening applications.

Key Features

  • Aerospace-grade compliance – Meets AMS2431/7B standards, ensuring consistent quality and reliability.

  • High mechanical durability – Exceptional toughness and resistance to fracture, extending operational lifespan.

  • Uniform bead quality – Narrow size distribution, consistent sphericity, density, and hardness for reproducible results.

  • Low contamination – Non-metallic media with extremely low dust generation, preventing metallic inclusions.

  • Reduced machine wear – Lower throwing velocity needed to achieve peening intensity, preserving equipment.

  • Enhanced fatigue life – Produces high residual compressive stress close to component surfaces for improved service life.

Applications & Industries

  • Aerospace & automotive shot peening for fatigue life extension

  • Stainless steel and hardened alloy component treatment (e.g., 440C HRC60)

  • Peen-forming & straightening of structural parts

  • Multi-step fine peening requiring consistent bead size and intensity

FAQ

Q1: Are CZ ceramic shots compliant with aerospace standards?
A: Yes — all CZ ceramic shots conform to AMS2431/7B for aerospace-grade shot peening.

Q2: Can they replace steel shots?
A: Yes — CZ beads can operate within the same intensity range as steel shots, with reduced dust and no metallic contamination.

Q3: What are the main advantages over steel or glass beads?
A: CZ beads offer higher durability, lower machine wear, and superior surface finish with minimal contamination risk.
