Sand Blasting

Sand blasting helps create surface profiles and improves overall visual appearance.

Sand blasting can also improve the adhesion properties of a substrate and hasten paint adhesion.

The process is used to create a uniform matte finish on parts. It can also be used to hide machine marks or remove small imperfections in parts prior to anodizing or other plating processes.

Iron Image

Iron is an indispensable metal in the industrial sector. Iron is alloyed with a small amount of carbon – steel, which is not easily demagnetized after magnetization and is an excellent hard magnetic material, as well as an important industrial material, and is also used as the main raw material for artificial magnetism.

Design Considerations

  • Plugging threaded/reamed holes not required unless tolerances are very tight, as thickness change is minimal.
  • It is better to avoid blasting thin walls since they are prone to deformation.
  • There may be a difficulty in uniformly finishing parts with intricate geometries.
