Benefits of technology

[0037] Such a device makes it easier and quicker to treat parts that have projecting portions, which portions can be engaged in part in the sonotrode cavity, thereby reducing treatment time.
[0038] The path between the vibrating surface of the sonotrode and the treated part can be shortened and, for example, the

Embodiment Construction

Shot

[0068] In one of its aspects, the invention relates to shot for use in a peening installation comprising a sonotrode that is set into vibration at ultrasound frequencies by a suitable generator. The shot may be characterized by hardness greater than or equal to 800 HV, density greater than or equal to 8 g / cm3, and pieces having a maximum dimension that is less than or equal to 1.5 mm.

[0069]FIG. 1 shows a piece of shot 1 satisfying this definition, and that is substantially spherical shape, with the above-mentioned maximum dimension corresponding to the diameter d of the sphere. Preferably, the tolerance on its sphericity is better than ±60 μm.

[0070] Its hardness is preferably greater than or equal to 1300 HV, and its density is preferably greater than or equal to 12 g / cm3.

[0071] By way of example, the shot 1 is made entirely out of tungsten carbide or any other material presenting the required hardness and density. The tungsten carbide includes a binder of cobalt or nickel,...

Description

[0001] This non provisional application claims the benefit of French Application No. 04 08493 filed on Jul. 30, 2004 and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 599,364 filed on Aug. 6, 2004.[0002] The present invention relates to shot, devices, and installations for ultrasonic peening, and also to parts thus treated by peening. BACKGROUND [0003] Methods and installations for ultrasonic peening are described in particular in French patents FR 2 815 280 and FR 2 815 281, using at least one sonotrode comprising a titanium body for putting shot into motion for inducing compression stresses in the treated part. [0004] The following publications also relate to ultrasonic peening: U.S. Pat. No. 6,490,899 B2, U.S. Pat. No. 6,343,495 B1, U.S. Pat. No. 6,467,321 B2, U.S. Pat. No. 6,336,844 B1, U.S. Pat. No. 6,289,705 B1, U.S. Pat. No. 6,508,093 B2, US 2003 / 0115922 A1, U.S. Pat. No. 6,505,489 B2, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,536,109 B2. [0005] The shot used and described in the past in those patents mainl...
