The main components of sandblasting beads/balls include silica sand, alumina balls, zirconia balls, ceramic shot peening beads, etc.
Silica sand: Silica sand is a common sandblasting material, its chemical composition is mainly silicon dioxide (SiO2), with high hardness, suitable for the surface treatment of various metallic and non-metallic materials, and can provide strong impact and cleaning effect.
Alumina Balls: Alumina balls are a high-hardness blasting material that is commonly used as a blasting medium for surface finishing applications. It can provide the smoothest finish and satin finish on stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, magnesium, and even plastic surfaces.
Zirconia Balls: Zirconia balls are also a commonly used sandblasting material, with high hardness and excellent wear resistance, suitable for the surface treatment of various materials, and can provide good impact and grinding results .
Ceramic Shot Peening Beads: Ceramic shot peening beads, such as Zirpro Ceramic Shot Peening Microblast for Surface Finishing, are used as a blasting medium for surface finishing applications. These blasting beads can provide a smooth finish and satin finish on different material surfaces and are suitable for finishing with high surface requirements.
