Ceramic Shots - Blasting / Shot Peening Media >
Type: CB
Ceramic Shots for Blast Cleaning & Microblast
Features
-
Reduced beads consumption (30 - 40 times) against glass blasting media
-
Lower metal surface roughness
-
Less operating pressure and reduced abrasive velocity needed than glass blasting media, Thus have far less abrasive breakdown and dust generation, results in cleaner working environment and better operator visibility
-
White color, high sphericity and smooth surface beads
-
Strong mechanical resistance and high toughness, but gentle with equipment and tools preserving work parts
-
Chemically inert, no metallic contamination for treated parts
-
Low dust production
Applications
CB Beads can be used in these applications, just name a few:
-
Cleaning and surface preparation (deburring, etching, paint removal, cosmetic finishing and other microblast …) of moulds, castings and delicate items
-
Effectively used in air or wet pressure blasting process and in wheel turbine machines
Type: CZ
Ceramic Shots for Shot Peening
Features:
-
Highest Durability - Due to strong mechanical resistance and high toughness
-
Highest consistency from bead to bead in size distribution, sphericity, density and hardness
-
No Metallic Contamination and Lowest Dust Generation
-
Fine Shots efficient for multi peening steps
-
Lowest Machine Wear - Due to reduced shot throwing velocity needed to achieve the same peening intensities, and extremely smooth beads' surface
-
Improved Part Life - Offering high level residual compressive stress close to the surface
Applications
CZ Beads can be used in these applications, just name a few:
-
Shot peening to extend fatigue life by stress relieving, peen-forming and peen-straightening
-
Intensive use in wheel turbine machines and on High Strength Steel (HSS) at the same intensity range as steel shots
