White Aluminum oxide 60 grit for sandblasting Clamp fitting
White Aluminum oxide 60 grit refers is a widely used blast media for metals. Clamp fitting are usually made of 45 carbon steel, alloy steel, 304 or 316 stainless steel, and structural steel. For these metal parts, white Aluminum oxide can easily clean the welds and oxide layers and improve the surface aesthetics. There are several advantage:
First, the surface treatment effect
1. Efficient cleaning.
WFA 60 grit is of moderate size. During the sandblasting process, they can hit the surface of the clamp fitting with a suitable impact force. It can quickly remove impurities such as oxide scale, rust, oil, and old coating on the surface with high cleaning efficiency. For example, for clamp fitting with a large amount of oxide layer attached to the surface after long-term use, using white aluminum oxide 60 grit for sandblasting can restore the surface to cleanliness in a short time.
2. Uniform roughness.
It can form a uniform roughness on the surface of the clamp fittings. This uniform roughness is of great significance for subsequent processing or use. For example, during the coating process, the appropriate roughness can increase the contact area between the coating and the surface, improve the adhesion of the coating, make the coating more firmly attached to the surface, and extend the service life of the coating.
3. Improve surface quality.
During the sandblasting process, the white corundum particles continuously impact the surface of clamp. It can improve the surface microscopic defects to a certain extent, refine the surface grains, and improve the surface flatness and finish. After the white aluminum oxide 60 grit sandblasting treatment, the surface is smoother and more beautiful. In the meantime, it can improve fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance.
Secondly, in terms of material properties
1. High hardness.
White corundum itself has a high hardness, and the Mohs hardness can reach level 9. During the sandblasting process, the high-hardness WFA 60 grit abrasive can effectively cut and grind the surface of the clamp fitting. That avoid wear out quickly due to frequent impact, ensuring the continuous effectiveness of the sandblasting operation, reducing the consumption rate of abrasives, and saving costs.
2. Good chemical stability.
It has good chemical stability and does not react chemically with fittings. This ensures that the chemical composition and properties of the alloy will not be affected during the sandblasting process, and the original physical and chemical properties of clamp fitting can be maintained. It is particularly suitable for alloy materials with strict material performance requirements.
3. Good self-sharpening.
During the sandblasting process, when the edges and corners of the particles of the WFA 60 grit are worn, they can break themselves to produce new sharp edges and corners, and continue to maintain good grinding performance. This allows the abrasive to maintain a high cutting efficiency throughout the sandblasting process, ensuring the consistency and stability of the sandblasting effect.
In addition, environmental protection and cost aspects
1. Recyclable.
After sandblasting, the white corundum 60 grit can be recycled many times after proper screening and treatment. Compared with some disposable sandblasting materials, this greatly reduces the cost of use. At the same time, it reduces the consumption of abrasives and the generation of waste, meeting environmental protection requirements.
2. Low dust pollution.
White aluminum oxide grit produces relatively less dust during the sandblasting process, and the dust particles are large and easy to collect and treat. This not only improves the working environment and protects the health of operators, but also reduces pollution to the surrounding environment and meets the requirements of environmentally friendly production.
