Metal sandblasting and shot blasting are important for parts manufacturing particularly medical parts because dirty, oxidized or otherwise unfinished material is undesirable. Parts covered in mill scale, dirt, and other debris are aesthetically displeasing and they will not perform optimally, these imperfections will also result in shorter lifespans because coating unclean materials will be suboptimal.
For biomedical uses, imperfections in the surface of parts for implants or instruments will produce reservoirs for contaminants or microorganisms, which can lead to infections and endanger lives.
All this is why materials must be cleaned prior to the rest of the manufacturing process in order to produce quality results.
Shot blasting and sandblasting are among the most effective ways to clean dirty or oxidized materials. The mechanical process uses abrasive material to remove oxides and other debris from the surface of another material.
Shot blasting and sandblasting belong in the same family of abrasive blasting processes, the main difference is that shot blasting uses spherical shot as an abrasive media and a centrifugal wheel for propulsion, while sandblasting uses grains of sand and almost exclusively uses compressed air for propulsion.
Advanced Tech Machining uses automatic high-tech sandblasting machines designed for the treatment and finishing of surfaces of small / medium-sized geometries. The intuitive PLC (pls define PLC) allows our team of experts program and control all process parameters with extreme precision. Due to this it the ideal solution for the treatment of biomedical components, such as dental screws and other prostheses.
Materials Cleanable By Sandblasting and Shot Blasting
There are many materials that can be cleaned by shot blasting. These include, but are not limited to:
Carbon Steel
Alloy Steel
Stainless Steel
Cast Iron
Titanium
Copper
Concrete
Certain types of ceramics
Materials that can be used as shot blast material include:
Steel
Aluminum
Zinc
Copper
For sandblasting, the particles used for this clean CNC parts production process are usually quartz sand, emery and steel shot.
Sandblasting and shot blasting are efficient surface treatment procedures, especially with CNC metal machining.
Metal Sandblasting and Shot Blasting Advantages
Timely and efficient
When sandblasting CNC parts, the fast speed and spray beam, coupled with its selective abrasive capacity, makes it an efficient cleaning and smoothening technique for harsh surfaces, including metal. Sandblasting guarantees a faster turnaround time for products, even when dealing with complex materials with rough surfaces.
Even Abrasion
Sandblasting offers a cleaner product and more even surface results in much less time. Since the granular sandblast comes in a spray beam, it is easier to smoothly cover a metal surface as easy as holding a paint spray gun over wood.
Better Control for Smoothening and Cleaning
Sandblasting gives more accessible and better control in much less time when smoothening and clearing surfaces. It works perfectly well, even around odd shapes, sizes, and geometrical forms
