Glass Bead Vapour Honing

Precision component friendly blasting

Using fine non metallic abrasives bead blasting produces a perfectly clean uniform finish. The wet blasting process is used for surface improvement, cleaning, stripping, precoating preparation, deburring, shot peening, and contaminant removal.

This is particularly suited to the treatment of delicate, precision machined parts.

Advantages of using this process are:

  • No dust
  • Ability to use very fine abrasives.
  • Reduced fragmentation due to the water film (ideal for shot peening using glass beads).
  • Reduced risk of inclusions (especially on soft metal) as water has a cleaning effect.
