Anybody who deals with hardware tools and pieces of machinery would come across bead blasting term, but this term in itself is not that self-explanatory. Most information that is available online is in very technical words and confusing. Bead Blasting is often confused with other terminologies such as Bristle Blasting, Sand Blasting, Electropolish, or Passivation. We would try to uncover most of your doubts and help you gain a good understanding of Bead Blasting, its uses, benefits, and the process.

Bead blasting is a process of removing surface deposits with tiny glass beads without damaging the surface. Â Highpressure cleaning with glass beads makes the metal surface even and ready for plating. It cleans calcium deposits from pool tiles or any other type of surfaces it also helps remove embedded fungus and brightens the color. Bead blasting is one of the most effective ways of cleaning metal; it gives the metal a fine and renewed texture.

Bead blasting is one of the primary steps to improve tool efficiency and increased life. Bead blasting is commonly known as shot peening. It is the most effective and efficient way to remove surface contaminants and rust from the body of various metal objects; it gives them a renewed texture which allows the plating to stick to the base metal smoothly. A good Bead Blasting helps in improving the performance of further processes on metal objects such as Silver Plating, Cadmium Plating or Hard Chrome Plating.

Bead Blasting is a critical yet significant process step. It helps with compressive and tensile stress, uniform surface appearance and activates part for plating processes. Bead blasting finds its application in automotive industries, aerospace, for industrial purposes and also has a vital role in machine parts.

Bead Blasting is equally important regardless of the industry it is applied in. For example – it is used in automotive industries before the paintwork. It is used to ensure that the paints stick to the surface effects and to ensure there is no rust before the paint is applied. Similarly, there are various other forms of application of bead blasting in different industries.

Bead Blasting goes hand in hand with the plating process, as it creates the base for plating. Plating requires a consistent yet rough surface so that the plating can be applied on metal firmly. In engineering and aerospace aluminum parts are used which need a dull finish for plating, glass bead blasting is most used to get it. Glass beads maintain a brighter finish, whereas other blasting materials like aluminum oxide or silica carbide give the surface grayer finish.

Blasting process becomes more critical in aerospace, automotive, and heavy equipment industries due to tensile stress produce in the manufacturing process. The tensile stress on the surface provides a perfect environment for cracking and stress corrosion. Bead Blasting stops this stress corrosion and cracks thus making the metal part more durable.
