2.Sandblasting Ceramic Beads B170 size 0.045-0.090mm for metal surface treatment
DESCRIPTION OF CERAMIC BEADS
Sandblastinge Ceramic bead is also called zirconia sand. It is zirconia-based blasting media, obtained in melting method and then blowing into muciro beads. The sandblasting ceramic beads are no dust, durable and efficient, offering consistent surface finishing, are new eco-friendly blasting material, widely used for blast matte finish, blast surface cleaning and surface preparation before coating or anodizing.
Mainly used in sandblasting machine, including Manual & Automatic sandblasting machine, Open type sandblasting machine and Sandblasting machine room, and shot peening equipment, etc.

Aluminium alloy | Glass beads 150# | 6 Tons | Much | High |
Aluminium alloy | Ceramic beads B170 | 0.2Tons | Very Little | Low |
APPLICATION OF CERAMIC BEADS
1. SANDBLASTING FOR ALUMINIUM PROFILES
In the sandblasting process using ceramic beads as blasting media, the surface is formed with uniform pits, which are so small that we can hardly see them with the naked eye. We can only see that the originally bright aluminum products have become matte.
Sandblasting and anodizing process application:
Widely used in aviation, electrical, electronic digital industry, machinery manufacturing, automobile, construction, light industry and other industries.
Sandblasting process classification:
According to different workpiece materials, anodizing treatment is divided into ferrous metals (steel) and non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, magnesium and their alloys);
The advantages by ceramic beads sandblasting are:
1. Remove the oxide film on the surface of aluminum profile products, whether it is a naturally formed oxide film or an anodized film, it can be completely removed after sandblasting. This is why the sandblasting process precedes the anodizing sequence.
2. Prepare for other surface treatment procedures. When the aluminum profile after sandblasting is electroplated, the bonding force of the electroplating layer is stronger. The sandblasted aluminum profile can also be sprayed to enhance the coating adhesion.
2. OTHER APPLICTIONS
Includes metal surface treatment, metal rust removal, hardware rust removal, stainless steel material sandblasting, copper material sandblasting, hardware paint removal, hardware scar removal, aluminum alloy deburring, Zinc alloy blasting finish. etc.
