Bead Blast FAQs

What is bead blasting post-processing?

Bead blasting post-processing involves using a bead blasting machine to propel spherical beads (such as glass, plastic, or ceramic) at high speed onto the surface of an object. This process cleans, polishes, or textures the surface, creating a smooth and uniform finish. After bead blasting, the object may require further treatment, such as cleaning, corrosion protection, or additional surface finishing, to achieve the desired results.
How to clean the surface after bead blasting?

After bead blasting, surfaces can become contaminated. Wearing clean gloves when handling the parts is recommended. Surface cleaning methods include washing with water, solvent cleaning, and air blowing. The specific method depends on the material of the object and the type of beads used during blasting.
How to ensure an even bead blasting effect on parts with complex geometries?

To ensure an even bead blasting effect on complex-shaped parts, adjust the angle, direction, and pressure of the blast gun, or use special fixtures and turntables. This helps to reach all surfaces uniformly and achieve consistent results.
How to prevent rust after bead blasting?

After bead blasting, metal surfaces are prone to oxidation. Applying corrosion protection treatments, such as anti-corrosion coatings or plating, can help prevent rust. It's important to perform these treatments promptly after blasting to avoid oxidation.
How to further improve the appearance of a surface after bead blasting?

To further improve the appearance, consider additional surface treatments such as polishing, grinding, or applying coatings. These steps can help achieve a smoother, shinier surface and enhance the visual quality of the material.
How to control surface roughness after bead blasting?

Controlling surface roughness after bead blasting involves adjusting the type and size of the beads, the blasting pressure and distance, and the duration of the process. Using finer beads, lower pressure, and maintaining a consistent distance can help achieve a smoother finish.
