Aerospace & Defence Components Manufacturer
Challenge
After CNC machining and heat treatment, aerospace aluminium and titanium parts suffered micro-cutting from angular abrasives, non-uniform cosmetic finish, dimensional risk on tight tolerances, about 6% surface-related rejections, and audit pressure for a controlled, contamination-free process.
Solution
After application study and controlled field trials, we switched to aerospace-grade spherical glass beads (150–250 microns) with low-pressure peening—cutting finish rejections from 6% to under 0.8%, preserving dimensions, and delivering a uniform matte-to-satin finish for inspection and OEM audits.
