CASE STUDY www.transmet.com (614) 276-5522 engineering@transmet.com The initial teardrop shape typically lasts 50 to 100 cycles before the tail is pounded into the shot, making it round. This makes it easy to determine visually when shot is conditioned into a working mix. Rounding the shot was determined to provide the most consistent surface finish on delicate castings. The high durability of Transmet Cast Shot results in small, periodic additions to the machine to maintain full amperage on the blast wheel. TRANSMET APPROACH Transmet Cast Shot is relatively soft compared to many other blast materials. The shot is cast in air, resulting in a teardrop shape that flies in the face on conventional shot peening norms. Additionally, metallic shot will either work-harden or work-soft
