Cleaning Carbon, Rust, Paint From Bearing Components
1 PagesCASE STUDY www.transmet.com (614) 276-5522 engineering@transmet.com Transmet first developed a process for these bearing components in-house. The company sent parts to test in Transmet’s in-house support lab. By testing different sizes of shot at different cycle times, Transmet was able to determine the right process for the components. After determining the shot size that best removed the carbon buildup, rust, and old paint from the parts, Transmet began testing for the cycle time that would avoid profiling or removing metal. With the data from in-house testing, Transmet assisted the remanufacturer in setting up the cleaning process at their facility. TRANSMET APPROACH A remanufacturer of mild steel bearing components needed to remove carbon buildup, rust, and old paint from th
