Blasting glass beads (also known as glass bead sand) are an environmentally friendly and non-toxic abrasive. Due to their unique physical properties, they have been increasingly widely used in the construction and decoration industry. Their high hardness, good optical effect and environmental protection characteristics make them an ideal surface treatment material. Blasting glass beads play an important role in many fields. The following is a summary of their specific functions:
Surface treatment function
Increasing surface roughness: The blasting process uses the impact of high-speed glass beads to grind off the tiny protruding parts on the surface of the workpiece, leaving pits and grooves of varying sizes, thereby increasing the surface roughness. This treatment method not only makes the surface of the workpiece more natural and more comfortable to the touch, but also provides a better foundation for subsequent coating attachment, bonding and other processes.
Removing surface impurities: Blasting glass beads can effectively remove impurities such as dirt, grease, and oxide layer on the surface of the workpiece, making the surface cleaner. This feature is particularly important in the surface treatment of metal parts, plastic products, ceramics and other materials, which helps to improve the overall quality and decorativeness of the product.
Enhance physical properties
Improve wear resistance and scratch resistance: The blasting process forms a layer of compressive stress on the surface of the workpiece, which can significantly increase the hardness of the surface and make it more wear-resistant and scratch-resistant. Using glass beads for blasting can further enhance this effect, help maintain the beauty and practicality of the product, and extend its service life.
Uniformly eliminate stress: Blasting glass beads can evenly eliminate stress on the surface of the component and improve the overall performance of the product.
Form a hardened layer: Through blasting, a dense hardened layer can also be formed on the surface of the workpiece to improve the strength and durability of the workpiece.
Wide applicability
Multiple material processing: Glass bead blasting media can be used for surface treatment of a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, ceramics, etc.
Multi-field application: Blasting glass beads can also be used in mold cleaning, ship frame protection, medical equipment and hardware parts product shot peening and finishing processing and other fields. Its wide applicability makes glass bead blasting occupy an important position in industrial production.
