Stainless steel sandblasting is a common surface treatment process, mainly used to increase the roughness of the metal surface and improve adhesion and aesthetics. When selecting a blasting media, the appropriate sand material needs to be selected based on specific application needs and cost considerations.
Garnet sand is a commonly used sandblasting medium. It has the characteristics of high hardness, good wear resistance, and good chemical stability. Therefore, garnet sand is a good choice for sandblasting hard metals such as stainless steel.
First of all, garnet sand has high hardness and can effectively remove the oxide layer and rust on the surface of stainless steel, while polishing the metal surface to improve the surface finish.
Secondly, garnet sand has good wear resistance, which can ensure the stability and consistency of sand particles during the sandblasting process and reduce clogging and wear problems during the sandblasting process.
In addition, garnet sand also has good chemical stability and will not react chemically with the stainless steel surface, thus avoiding possible corrosion and discoloration problems during the sandblasting process.
From a cost perspective, garnet sand is relatively affordable, so using garnet sand for stainless steel sandblasting can reduce production costs.
It should be noted that specific process parameters and equipment requirements also need to be considered when selecting blasting media. For example, for different sandblasting equipment and process parameters, garnet sand with different particle sizes and hardness needs to be selected. In addition, when using garnet sand for sandblasting, attention must be paid to issues such as dust and noise to ensure environmental protection and safety during the production process.
