Glass Bead Media:l Are consumed at a slow rate and cansurvive multiple impacts, allowing forcontinuous recycling of the media.l Are chemically inert and will not leaveferrous or other undesirable residues onthe surface of the workpiece.l Impart a controlled, clean finish on avariety of metals.l Clean quickly without significantmetal removal.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:Cleaningl Cleans/preps surface of metal partswithout changing tolerances, or imparting ferrous pollutants.l Combines cleaning, finishing and peening in one operation.
Finishingl Creates a wide range of unique surface finishes that are easyto reproduce.l Blends machine marks, seals pores and the results offer theadvantages of glass bead peening.
Peeningl Reduces the tensile stress in metal parts, increasing thefatigue limit.l Reduces stress corrosion cracking.
Deburringl Removes burrs without damaging the parts and offers a peened surface in one operation.
GLASS BEAD FACTS:
Coarse Beadsl Remove larger, tougher soils;Peen to more intense levels; Peento deeper zones in surface; Producehigher surface RA; Produce brightersurface; Consume faster at samepressure as fine beads; In practice,may consume slower than fine beads.
Fine Beadsl Remove smaller, lighter soil;More impacts per pound; Cleanfaster; Peen to less intense levels;Peen outer zones of surfaces; Reachinto keyways, filletes and small areas;
Produce lower surface RA; Produce matte finish; Consume slow-er at same pressure as coarse beads; In practice, may consumefaster than coarse beads.
All Beadsl Contains no free silica (environmentally friendly); Recycle manytimes; Clean efficiently at 45º- 60º nozzle angle.
Bead size, shape of the workpiece, angle of the nozzle, distanceof the nozzle to the surface area, air pressure, and the type ofdelivery system (suction versus direct pressure blast) are factorsaffecting final surface appearance and media consumptionparameters.
