The difference in consumption of abrasive media in shot blasting

The consumption of 1 kg of stainless steel shot is equivalent to the consumption of 17 kg of corundum, which is equivalent to the consumption of 100 kg of glass beads, that of 3-4 kg of ordinary steel shot, that of 3 kg of aluminum shot and zinc shot.

Stainless steel shotis mainly used for surface cleaning and decoration of non-ferrous metal. The density ofstainless steel shotis more than 2 times larger than that oaluminumshot. Therefore, the ideal shot blasting effect can be achieved by appropriately reducing the shot blasting speed. Shot blasting process withstainless steel shotwill achieve the performance of shimmery metallic color, smoothsurfaceand matt effect. There is no pollution to the workpiece from start to end, and the service life is much longer than that ofaluminumshot. According to the actual measurement, the consumption ofabrasiveis about two kilograms after a ton of aluminum alloy castings is shot blasted. Under the same process conditions, the same number of the same kind of workpieces is processed. Compared with other shotand sand materials, the consumption of 1 kg ofstainless steel shotis equivalent to the consumption of 17 kg of corundum, which is equivalent to 100 kgglass beads, equivalent to 3-4 kg of ordinary steel shot, equivalent to 3 kg of aluminum pills and zinc shot. Therefore, under the same processing conditions,stainless steel shothasthe leastconsumption, and theleastresulting waste; the lowest processing cost of the transportation of shotand scraps, and the minimum amount of workpiece cleaning.
