BENEFITS

UIT can be applied to most types of metal fabrications. The technology is mobile and can be setup and used by one person. It has a range of different head solutions to treat just about any scenario. In repetitive applications, robots are being used to reduce the cost of labor and improve productivity.

Our service and technology is cost effective to apply when compared with other techniques. We provide a more efficient repair process that delivers a significant life extension to repaired welds when compared to traditional post-weld treatments.   

Benefits
FATIGUE LIFE EXTENSION

Upon application of UIT to the weld toe, the weld toe geometry is modified creating a fatigue friendly geometry. Compressive residual stress is imparted into the heat affective zone (HAZ) improving grain structure and strength.

STRESS CORROSION CRACKING (SCC)

UIT can be used to mitigate the effects of Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC). The UIT process can be used on most materials susceptible to SCC to minimize and/or arrest the propagation of SCC.

DISTORTION MITIGATION

When UIT is applied to welded surfaces, it neutralizes the tensile stress created during welding and relaxes the welded structure reducing and or eliminating distortion.

SAFE &
EFFICIENT

UIT provide a safe WHS environment with reduced noise levels and vibration resulting in less operator fatigue. Time on material delivers superior results and is much faster than other forms of peening.
