Ceramic Abrasive Blasting Beads
Description
Ceramic Beads are a spherical blasting and peening media produced by the fusion of oxides at a very high temperature. Ceramic Beads are extremely tough and fracture resistant, ensuring consistent peening intensities and surface finishes.
Ceramic Beads are available in two grades, one designed for impact surface treatment and the other for shot peening applications. A variety of sizes are available for finishing, peening, deburring, cleaning and descaling ferrous and non ferrous parts.
Applications
Removal of carbon deposits and other impurities from glass making and rubber tire moulds, without damaging the surface or critical edges. Deburring thin gaskets.
Shot peening ferrous and non ferrous items including aircraft engine blades, blisks, turbines etc. Internal and external thread peening. Plasma coating compacting.
Cleaning, sanitizing and surface finishing of fabricated stainless steel items for food and pharmaceutical industries. Medical implant and instrument surface finishing.
