Inhibit Flash Rust on Ferrous Parts After Shot Blasting
CASE STUDY www.transmet.com (614) 276-5522 engineering@transmet.com The non-ferrous nature of Transmet Cast Shot will not directly cause flash rust. Any residual shot left on parts will not cause corrosion. Zinc galvanizing is a very common method of rust-proofing steel products. It is an electrochemical process resulting in long-term rust prevention. Shot Blasting with Cast Zinc Shot is a mechanical process that mimics the rust prevention aspect of galvanizing for short-term benefits. TRANSMET APPROACH Customers are cleaning ferrous parts prior to processing and/or painting. The methods being used are either steel shot blasting or chemical cleaning to prepare the surface for subsequent operations. Any delay between cleaning and further operations frequently results in flash ru
