Shot Blasting Applications For Stainless Steel Grit
CASE STUDY www.transmet.com (614) 276-5522 engineering@transmet.com Many shot blasting applications would benefit from Stainless Steel Grit. The blast media utilizes its angular shape, high hardness, and high bulk density to deliver more energy to the parts being blasted. The resulting surface profile is consistent, bright, and without ferrous contamination. Stainless Steel Grit is more durable and resistant to fracture than other media. This allows it to last thirty times longer than Aluminum Oxide, fifty times longer than Glass Bead, and sixty times longer than Garnet. Blast machine operators will have clearer views of the parts. TRANSMET APPROACH For decades, sand was the standard media for shot blasting. Sandblasting was developed by Benjamin Tilghman in 1870 when he produce
