Paramus,
NJ, Jan. 11 - Metal Improvement Company has introduced
the Peenscan Pen, a new product for the shot peening
industry that greatly facilitates quality control of
the shot peening process.
The
Peenscan Pen provides a convenient method for applying
a thin coating of fluorescent tracer fluid to very specific
areas of a part without the need for masking. The tracer
fluid can be utilized during initial engineering set-up
of a part for shot peening as well as for monitoring
critical areas (gear teeth, etc.) during production
shot peening. Use of fluorescent tracer fluid is a practical
way to measure shot peening coverage in terms of amount
and uniformity by monitoring the degree of removal of
a fluorescent dye after shot peening.
The
Peenscan Pen is available with two different fluorescent
fluids. Selection of the appropriate Peenscan Pen is
dependent on the hardness of the metal and the intensity
of the shot peening process. Many aerospace, automotive
and industrial manufacturers have approved the Peenscan
process.
The Peenscan Pen is available for purchase directly
from Metal Improvement Company, as well as from Electronics,
Incorporated in North America and Nako-M-Link in Singapore.
Metal
Improvement Company provides precision metal finishing
services, including shot peening, laser peening, coating
services and heat treating, through a network of over
50 facilities in North America and Europe. Metal Improvement
Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Curtiss-Wright
