Glass Beads 150 mesh

Fine-Grade Glass Bead Media for Controlled Finishing

Glass beads in the 150 mesh range are manufactured from high-quality, lead-free soda-lime glass. The spherical particle shape ensures consistent impact energy transfer, which is critical for controlled shot peening and stress relief on metal components. Unlike angular abrasives, glass beads do not remove base material; they peen the surface, closing porosity and improving fatigue resistance while leaving a clean, matte-satin appearance.

Typical Applications for 150 Mesh Glass Beads

This fine grade is particularly effective where surface profile requirements are tight and cosmetic finish is paramount. Common industrial applications include:

• Shot peening of springs, gears, turbine blades, and welded fabrications to improve fatigue life.
• Satin finishing of stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous components for architectural and automotive trim.
• Precision cleaning of molds, dies, and tooling without edge rounding or tolerance loss.
• Deburring of small, intricate machined parts where aggressive media would cause damage.
• Surface preparation prior to plating, anodizing, or painting where a fine anchor profile is required.

Blasting Process and Equipment Compatibility

150 mesh glass beads are suitable for use in suction-fed and pressure-fed dry blasting cabinets, as well as wheel-type shot peening machines. The media can be recycled multiple times when used with proper dust collection and classification systems. For optimal results, maintain blasting pressure between 40–80 PSI, adjusting based on the substrate hardness and desired finish. Always ensure the media is dry and free-flowing before loading into the blast pot.
