What Does Sandblasting Do?

Cleaning the rust and grime from metal and other materials is challenging. Abrasive blasting makes getting a sleek metal finish simple. This process uses pressurized air to shoot a stream of blasting media against an object’s surface. The abrasive materials smooth out a rough surface or add texture to a smooth one depending on the blaster’s intention and the object.

The shot blasting process involves many types of abrasive materials. When the shot blasting method was first invented, it was completed using silica sand. Today, blasting media is selected according to the application. Small blasting media is best used to create a smooth finish, while larger media results in a rough appearance.

The Types of Bead Blasting Services

There are many ways to approach abrasive blasting. Naming conventions for the blasting process depend on the blasting method, used media, and application. Here are a few examples:

Glass Bead Blasting

Bead blasting requires glass beads. The bead blasting process is often used for cleaning or deburring metal objects. Paint, rust, and debris are removed from the material without damaging it to leave a bright and softly dimpled surface finish. If you want a smooth surface, it’s best to use the smallest beads possible.

Steel Shot Blasting

Spherical steel shot produces a peening effect that adds compressive strength to the sandblasted metal. This blasting method requires high pressure and can be performed inside a small cabinet or blast room.

Glass Bead Blasting

Wet blasting is one of the oldest blasting techniques. Invented in the 1950s, wet blasting originally involved silica sand, a material that unfortunately caused people to develop silicosis, a respiratory disease. Silica sand is no longer used, but wet blasting is still a helpful blasting method. Wet blasting is a good option if you want a consistent finish and a smooth surface without producing dust.
