<p>The method, esp. for pre-stressing and hardening the inner surfaces of cavities, e.g. to receive turbine blade fixing pins, consists of blasting the cavity with shot set in motion by ultra-sound. The shot is made from balls of a pre-determined diameter, resonated by a vibrator (20) positioned adjacent to the orifice (25) of a cavity (24). The vibrator is in the shape of a pot with tapering and tubular (22) sections which is resonated at one of its own frequencies. It can be shaped so that its tip can be introduced slightly into the cavity or it can have a flange which abuts the end of the cavity, while the other end of the cavity is covered by a reflector (27) in the form of a metal plate to return the shot back to the cavity.</p> |
