Glass bead blasting by wet process
The wet blasting process is used for surface improvement, cleaning, stripping, precoating preparation, deburring, shot peening, and contaminant removal. The surfaces treated by the wet process (water with media) come close to perfection as far as physical/chemical cleanliness is concerned. This process is particularly suited to the treatment of delicate, precision machined parts.
The main advantages are:
- No dust
- Ability to use very fine abrasives.
- Reduced fragmentation due to the water film (ideal for shot peening using glass beads).
- Reduced risk of inclusions (especially on soft metal) as water has a cleaning effect.
