Ceramic Shots  - Blasting / Shot Peening Media >

Type: CB

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

Industry Standards

• AMS2431/7B

• SAE J1830
