Applicable Materials for Sheet Metal Services

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a common material that benefits from dry abrasive blasting. Known for its robustness and resistance to tarnishing and rust, stainless steel can withstand the aggressive nature of abrasive blasting, resulting in a perfectly matte surface ideal for medical devices, kitchen appliances, or industrial equipment. This treatment is essential for applications where hygiene and cleanability are paramount.

Carbon and Galvanized Steels

Carbon steel, with its high strength and durability, is often chosen for construction and heavy machinery. At Zemetal, dry abrasive blasting cleans the steel’s surface, effectively removing mill scale, rust, or previous coatings, which is crucial before repainting or welding. Galvanized steel is also commonly processed through dry abrasive blasting to decontaminate the surface while preserving the zinc layer that guards against corrosion.

Copper and Brass

Copper and brass are metals used in applications demanding both aesthetic appeal and functionality, such as in plumbing fixtures, electrical components, and decorative items. Dry abrasive blasting can delicately remove tarnish and prepare these surfaces for further finishing or coating. The process is carefully controlled to ensure that the soft surfaces of copper and brass are cleaned without altering their desired physical properties.

Benefits of Dry Abrasive Blasting

By thoroughly cleaning and profiling the surface, this process creates the perfect canvas for paints and coatings to adhere, reducing the risk of peeling or blistering over time. Zemetal recognizes that this is particularly important for materials like aluminum and stainless steel, which are often used in environments where longevity and durability of the finish are critical.
Dry abrasive blasting is an environmentally conscious choice, often utilizing recyclable media, such as crushed glass or aluminum oxide. For instance, fewer byproducts are released into the environment, and the media can be reused in multiple cycles before disposal. This aspect is crucial for businesses aiming to reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining high-quality surface preparation standards.

Features of Dry Abrasive Blasting

Precision Surface Profiling

The process of dry abrasive blasting offers precision surface profiling, which is essential for sheet metal applications where exacting specifications are required. By selecting appropriate media and adjusting pressure settings, operators can achieve the desired surface texture with high precision.
 

Efficient Contaminant Removal

According to Kue Group, dry abrasive blasting excels at efficiently removing contaminants like rust, scale, and old paint from metal surfaces, compared to wet blasting. This feature is particularly beneficial for carbon and galvanized steels, which are prone to such impurities over time. This reduces the time required to prepare materials for further processing, such as welding or finishing, streamlining the production process.

Applications of Dry Abrasive Blasting

Automotive Industry

Within the automotive sector, dry abrasive blasting is applied to clean and prepare surfaces for coatings, remove rust, and deliver the appropriate surface roughness for optimal paint adhesion. The precision afforded by dry abrasive blasting is particularly beneficial for complex automotive components that require a uniform finish to ensure both aesthetic appeal and long-term durability.

Aerospace Industry

In the aerospace industry, Zemetal leverages dry abrasive blasting to meticulously prepare aircraft components, ensuring they are free from contaminants and appropriately textured for advanced coatings. Reflecting the growing importance of this process, Future Market Insights projects the abrasive blasting nozzle market to expand at a 4.5% CAGR, anticipating it to hit US$ 300 million by 2033.

Shipbuilding Industry Applications

Shipbuilding requires metal surfaces to be impeccably prepared for coatings that will face aggressive marine environments. Dry abrasive blasting is an integral part of the shipbuilding process, used to clean large metal sheets and structures before they are painted. Ensuring a clean, rust-free surface helps in extending the lifespan of vessels and reducing the frequency of costly maintenance and repairs due to corrosion.

3 Things to Consider When Choosing Dry Abrasive Blasting Services

#1 Selecting the Right Abrasive Media

This choice is critical as it affects the quality of the surface finish and can impact the integrity of the material being blasted. For example, harder media can strip coatings and contaminants quickly but may etch the surface, while softer media may take longer but preserve the material’s integrity. Discussing the project’s needs with the service provider will ensure the right media is selected for the job.
 

#2 Evaluating Dry Blasting Service Capabilities

It’s crucial to assess the service provider’s expertise specifically in dry abrasive blasting. Like Zemetal, the provider should have a solid track record and experience with the type of metal and surface finish required for your project. Additionally, verifying that the provider’s equipment is up-to-date and well-maintained is important, as this can directly affect the consistency and quality of the finished product.
 

#3 Batch Size Considerations for Dry Abrasive Blasting

Dry abrasive blasting typically involves setup and cleanup processes that may make small batch sizes uneconomical. It’s important to understand the minimum volume requirements and whether the provider’s capabilities match the scale of your project. Providers may have different scales of operation, and finding one that aligns with your batch size needs can lead to more cost-effective services.
