Peening works by introducing compressive residual stress at a surface, but controlling that layer consistently is harder than it sounds. Here’s the mechanism, and what makes it repeatable.

Almen intensity has been the industry standard for measuring peening force since 1942. Here’s how the method works, and how modern tools compare.

Cyclic loading drives structural fatigue in every airframe, new or aging. Here’s how compressive residual stress, and Shockform’s portable peening solutions, keep cracks from starting.

Farnborough brings the aerospace industry together in one place. The conversations on the ground tell us more about the state of the industry than any report could. This year, our team came back with one clear signal: defence MRO is no longer a secondary conversation....

From workshops to keynotes, Shockform experts bring 20 years of peening knowledge to your team or your next industry event. See how we can contribute.

Corrosion, stress fatigue, hard-to-reach surfaces. Shockform builds portable peening solutions for aerospace maintenance teams, in place, without disassembly.

Canada's Controlled Goods Program sets strict standards for organizations handling sensitive defence and aerospace technology. Registration is not automatic; it requires demonstrated accountability, traceability, and operational discipline. For Shockform, a...

At Shockform, we’ve been developing portable manual peening solutions for the aerospace industry for over 20 years. What we observe in the field, year after year, is that the solution alone isn’t enough; training is what ensures operators truly master the process where it matters most.
