Glass Beads
Applications
- Finishing: Glass Bead blasting can be used on a wide range of materials including metal, glass, plastic and rubber. The smaller the glass spheres, the smoother the surface; larger spheres produce a more textured finish.
- Cleaning: Glass Beads remove/clean foreign substances from the surface without a dimensional change to the surface. A wide range of bead sizes is available.
- Deburring: Glass Bead blasting removes burrs, feathered edges, from parts in a precision operation. Corners and edges must be deburred with precision to assemble and operate properly. Glass bead blasting guarantees that no base metal from the surface is removed.
- Peening: Peening with Glass Beads is a low cost form of creating a uniform surface layer of compressed stress in alloy substances. Peening acts to combat stress cracks and corrosion which result in increasing the life of metal parts.
