Some applications of steel shot in shot blasting process

10 Feb

In the field of drum shot blasting machine equipment, the main two aspects are shot blasting and sand blasting. Shot blasting mainly refers to shot blasting machines, while sandblasting mainly refers to sandblasting equipment. Below, I will introduce the similarities and differences between shot blasting and sand blasting.

Shot blasting is a mechanical surface treatment process. , improve the service life of the workpiece.

Sandblasting (sandblasting) is a work that uses compressed air as power to push abrasives to the surface of the workpiece for treatment. Specifically, it uses compressed air, high-pressure water, steam, etc. to push the abrasive flow to clean, strengthen, cut, and erode the surface of the workpiece. The operation process of changing its shape or state, sandblasting is common, but this process is quite slow and not easy to be detected.

The purpose of shot blasting and sandblasting the workpiece is to prepare for the next sequence, not only to ensure the roughness requirements of the next process, but also to make the surface treatment of the workpiece as consistent as possible. Shot peening has a strengthening effect on the workpiece, and its effect It is more obvious, relatively speaking, sandblasting is not obvious. Generally, shot blasting is small steel balls, and sand blasting is quartz sand. Sand blasting is mainly manual operation, while shot blasting is mostly automatic and semi-automatic; blasting uses compressed air as power to spray sand or shot material onto the surface of the material to achieve removal and a certain roughness. Blasting is a method of blowing the centrifugal force generated when the shot material rotates at a high speed to impact the surface of the material to achieve removal and a certain roughness; whether it is shot blasting or sand blasting, it can clean and decontaminate the workpiece.
