Descripción
Metallic blasting media, available in spherical and angular grades, is the most widely used abrasive in industrial shot blasting and abrasive blasting processes, especially for the treatment of metal surfaces.
Thanks to its versatility, it enables multiple operations to be performed with high efficiency, uniformity, and repeatability.
Main applications
- Cleaning of metal surfaces
- Removal of oxides and contaminants.
- Surface preparation for painting and coatings
- Shot peening (improved mechanical strength)
- Elimination of tensions
- Preparation for subsequent processes
Types of Metallic Blasting Media
Spherical Blasting Media
Manufactured through melting and atomization processes, spherical blasting media provides a uniform, clean, and smooth finish.
Characteristics:
- Final sinusoidal surface profile.
- Ideal for cleaning and surface uniformity.
- High strength and durability.
- Quality control in accordance with international standards.
Angular Blasting Media
Produced by crushing cast steel, it has an irregular, saw-tooth geometry that provides greater cutting action.
Characteristics:
- Rougher surface finish
- Excellent stripping performance.
- Ideal for surface preparation prior to coating.
- Compatible with turbine and compressed air blasting systems.
During the manufacturing process, key parameters are carefully controlled, such as:
- Composition
- Resistance
- Angularity
- Granulometry
- Sphericity
Gisha Blasting Media
Gisha blasting media is a high-hardness, highly aggressive angular abrasive, considered an alternative to corundum for certain applications.
Key applications:
- Descaling after heat treatment
- Paint removal
- Surface preparation for welding
- Surface preparation for painting and technical coatings
- Satin finishing of metal surfaces
- Surface preparation for rubber-to-metal bonding
- Surface preparation for electroless nickel plating
Advantages of metallic blasting media
