Bead Blasting
Bead Blasting or Shot Peening
Bead blasting, also known as “shot peening”, is a process of using circular media to dimple the surface of an object. Shot peening is like grit blasting but works on the mechanism of plasticity rather than abrasion, which removes less material andgenerates less dust. Additionally, shot peening is used to relieve the tensile stress of metal and composites, increasing its compressive strength. This process is usually reserved for delicate machine components such as gear parts, suspension springs, and turbine blades.
East Sussexis aceremonial countyinSouth East England. It is bordered byKentto the north-east,West Sussexto the west,Surreyto the north-west, and theEnglish Channelto the south. The largest settlement is the city ofBrighton and Hove, and the county town isLewes.

The north-east of East Sussex is part of theWeald, asandstoneanticlinethat was once an extensive woodland. The highest point in this area is Crowborough Hill (242 m (794 ft)), part of the High Weald uplands. The south-west of the county is part of theSouth Downs, a rollingchalkescarpmentthat stretches west into West Sussex and Hampshire.Ditchling Beacon(248 m (814 ft)) is the highest point. Where the downs reach the sea, they form high cliffs such as theSeven Sisters, where erodeddry valleyscreate an undulating skyline.[8]The county does not contain large rivers, but its largest are theRother, which forms part of the boundary with Kent, theCuckmere, and theOuse, which rises in West Sussex and flows throughLewesbefore reaching the English Channel atNewhaven.[9]
