Technical overview
Mass finishing, blasting and cleaning prepare or refine component surfaces by removing contamination, scale, burrs or unwanted material. Each process requires the correct media, equipment and control method for the target finish.
Applications and process control
Stable results depend on media condition, separation, cycle time and inspection. Screening and media-management tools help prevent oversized particles, broken media and contamination from affecting surface quality or downstream peening operations.
- Match media type and size to the material and required finish.
- Screen and inspect media at defined intervals.
- Control cycle time, loading and cleaning conditions.
- Document surface acceptance criteria and inspection results.
