Glass beads are a unique and widely used abrasive for air blasting applications, such as cleaning, processing or metal blasting. Glass beads are made from highly compressed and graded glass fragments. The glass fragments are first melted into spheres and then annealed to balance internal pressure and flexural resistance. These pure, transparent spheres are free of any embedded particles, purification, stains or other surface damage after processing. Depending on the selected size and operating parameters, glass beads can produce a variety of gloss levels on the workpiece surface, ranging from rough to silky. Glass beads can also be used to easily achieve decorative effects or other special effects when sandblasting or spraying.
Glass beads have excellent performance and will not damage the workpiece surface even when cleaning or deburring workpieces with strict precision requirements, and the original precision of the workpiece is still maintained. In addition, the inherent strength of glass beads enables them to withstand multiple impacts and cyclic sandblasting operations.
Glass beads are widely used to treat the surface of workpieces with residual tension or under periodic pressure to produce a compressive stress layer to achieve surface strengthening. Using glass beads to strengthen the surface of the workpiece can reduce potential dangers such as surface erosion or surface fatigue. Chemical properties of glass beads are non-toxic and non-toxic. During use, no iron or other harmful substances will remain on the surface of the workpiece, nor will it have an adverse effect on the surrounding environment.
Applicable industries: aviation industry, automobile industry, consumer goods manufacturing industry, foundry industry, subcontractors, semiconductor industry.
Applicable process range: cleaning of integrated circuit block brackets; strengthening of aircraft engine turbine blades and other parts; decorative parts; surface treatment before electroplating or electrolytic spraying; cleaning or deburring of non-ferrous components, and cleaning of molten residual materials in high-temperature molds.
Instructions for use and performance: Large glass beads have a slower cleaning speed, but a stronger impact force, can remove larger stains, and produce higher surface roughness and finish. Small glass beads have a faster cleaning speed, but a weaker impact force, can remove smaller stains, and produce lower surface roughness and finish.
