Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can be processed with glass bead blasting?
Glass bead blasting works on a wide range of metals including aluminum, brass, steel, stainless steel, zinc, and white metal, as well as many alloys. The gentle, non-aggressive media cleans and finishes these substrates without altering dimensions, delivering an even satin surface every time.
How does glass bead blasting create a satin finish?
Spherical glass beads are propelled at the surface under controlled pressure, peening rather than cutting the metal. This produces a clean, uniform satin finish with a smooth matte texture, removing light contamination and surface imperfections while preserving part geometry.
Is glass bead blasting safe for delicate parts?
Yes. Glass bead media is gentle and non-aggressive, so it cleans and deburrs without damaging the part or removing meaningful material. It is well suited for delicate components and tight-tolerance parts where dimensions must be maintained, all while meeting ROHS and environmental standards.
What surface preparation does glass bead blasting provide?
Glass bead blasting cleans away oxidation, light rust, scale, and residues while leaving a uniform satin profile. This makes it an ideal surface prep step ahead of painting, coating, plating, or bonding, promoting strong adhesion without aggressive material removal.
Can you provide samples before full production?
Yes, we offer free sampling for most applications. We can blast representative parts so you can evaluate the satin finish and cleanliness before committing to full-scale production, ensuring complete satisfaction with the final results.
