In modern industrial production, improving the service life of components and enhancing structural stability are perennial challenges. Ultrasonic impact guns, as highly efficient surface strengthening and stress-relief equipment, have played an irreplaceable role in numerous industries due to their unique working principle.
The core principle of an ultrasonic impact gun is to utilize high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations (typically above 20kHz) to drive an impact head to deliver minute, high-frequency impacts to the workpiece surface. This impact is not a brutal collision, but rather a precise transfer of energy that alters the metal microstructure of the workpiece surface, thereby enhancing performance and relieving stress. Compared to traditional mechanical hammering and heat treatment methods, it offers significant advantages such as concentrated impact energy, controllable depth of impact, and minimal damage to the workpiece.
In the field of welded structural strengthening, ultrasonic impact guns are the most widely used. During the welding process, residual stress often occurs in the workpiece. If this stress is not eliminated in time, it can easily lead to weld cracking and structural deformation, seriously affecting product quality and service life. Ultrasonic impact guns can directly act on the weld and heat-affected zone, causing plastic deformation of the surface metal through high-frequency impact, effectively releasing residual tensile stress, and even converting it into beneficial compressive stress. At the same time, it refines grains, improves microstructure uniformity, and significantly enhances the fatigue strength and corrosion resistance of the weld. Whether it is large steel structures such as bridges, pressure vessels, and ships, or automotive parts and core components of engineering machinery, the service life can be extended several times after ultrasonic impact treatment.
Besides welding reinforcement, ultrasonic impact guns also excel in stress relief after machining. During the cutting and grinding processes of precision mechanical parts, residual stress can be generated in the surface metal due to uneven heating and cooling and mechanical forces, leading to part accuracy drift and easy wear during use. Ultrasonic impact treatment can quickly eliminate these residual stresses, stabilize the dimensional accuracy of parts, and improve surface hardness and wear resistance, allowing precision parts to maintain stable performance in high-speed, high-pressure, and high-load working environments.

Ultrasonic impact guns also demonstrate unique value in the repair of aging equipment. Some long-serving industrial equipment may have surface fatigue cracks and wear on critical components, making direct replacement costly. Using an ultrasonic impact gun to treat damaged areas not only eliminates stress concentration at crack tips and prevents further crack propagation but also enhances the load-bearing capacity of components through surface strengthening, achieving "repairing and reuse," and saving companies significant maintenance costs. Today, with the increasing demands for product quality and reliability in industrial manufacturing, ultrasonic impact guns have gradually become widespread in many high-end manufacturing fields such as aerospace, rail transportation, petrochemicals, and new energy. With its high efficiency, precision, and environmental friendliness, it has become a powerful assistant in industrial production to improve component performance and ensure structural safety, providing strong support for the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
