Shot Peening
Shot peening realigns molecules in ferrous, non-ferrous and exotic alloys, guarding them against stress-corrosion and cracking. The net result? Lighter, stronger parts meaning safer aircraft with longer life cycles.
Cyclone performs saturation shot peening, shot peen straightening, rotor flap peening and shot peen forming. Unlike its competitors, all of Cyclone’s peening equipment use stainless steel shot. The result is considerable waste reduction.
Anodizing
Facility #3 is home to Cyclone’s anodizing plant. Anodizing improves corrosion-resistance and prolongs the life of metal components. Built to NADCAP specifications, eight-tub system can manage parts up to 3 ft x 9 ft x 25 ft.
