Sandblasting of metal

Metal sandblasting is a highly effective technology for removing contaminants, corrosion, molding-sand residue, and oil stains from product surfaces through cold abrasive cleaning. The equipment used for this purpose is also suitable for glass, stone, and other hard materials.

The process consists of treating a surface with an abrasive material, most often sand. Abrasive particles can create a rougher surface, improving the adhesion of coatings and extending their service life.

The following types of surface treatment are performed using sandblasting equipment:

• Light. Surface cleaning removes major areas of corrosion and traces of old paint.
• Medium. More thorough treatment leaves no more than 10% of minor rust traces.
• Deep. A high consumption of abrasive material provides the most thorough cleaning, leaving the metal surface completely clean.

After sandblasting, the treated metal surface is assigned one of four grades under the international standard: light blast cleaning (Sa 1), thorough cleaning without a reflective finish (Sa 1-2), near-white blast cleaning (Sa 2-2.5), and white metal blast cleaning (Sa 3).

Specialists at Ivanovo Mechanical Plant provide sandblasting services at competitive prices. Modern equipment and new technologies allow us to remove rust, corrosion, paint, and other contaminants or coatings from workpiece surfaces. Artistic treatment of glass, stone, and other hard materials is also available. We offer competitive prices, consistently high quality, guarantees, and short lead times.

Sandblasting is widely used in various industries for the following tasks:

• Preparing part or structure surfaces for painting and inspection.
• Cleaning process equipment, pipelines, containers, tanks, and panels.
• Manufacturing parts from aluminum, copper, and other materials.
• Engraving or decorating stone, glass, mirrors, souvenirs, and crafts.
• Cleaning wheels and vehicle body parts before straightening and painting.
• Renovating structures and buildings.

Sandblasting treats a metal or other hard surface with a stream of fine sand delivered under high pressure. Intense deformation breaks down the structure of rust, corrosion, or another coating. This removes not only foreign substances but also a thin layer of stone, steel, cast iron, glass, or another material. The technology can clean a surface and, when required, create various patterns and designs.

The popularity of sandblasting metal and other materials is due to its many advantages.

• Efficiency. This technology provides high productivity and a reliable result regardless of the material, workpiece configuration, or type of contamination.
• Versatility. It can be used with various hard materials for a wide range of tasks, including cleaning, decorating, polishing, pattern application, and matting.
• Speed. Treatment takes minimal time and does not require labor-intensive preparation.
