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 shot is mainly used for surface cleaning and decoration of non-ferrous metal. The density of stainless steel shot is more than 2 times larger than that o aluminum shot. Therefore, the ideal shot blasting effect can be achieved by appropriately reducing the shot blasting speed. Shot blasting process with stainless steel shot will achieve the performance of shimmery metallic color, smooth surface and matt effect. There is no pollution to the workpiece from start to end, and the service life is much longer than that of aluminum shot. According to the actual measurement, the consumption of abrasive is 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 shot and sand materials, the consumption of 1 kg of stainless steel shot is equivalent to the consumption of 17 kg of corundum, which is equivalent to 100 kg glass 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 shot has the least consumption, and the least resulting waste; the lowest processing cost of the transportation of shot and scraps, and the minimum amount of workpiece cleaning.
