Glass Beads 24 mesh

Why 24 Mesh Glass Beads for Industrial Blasting

At 24 mesh, glass beads offer an optimal balance between impact energy and surface coverage. The spherical shape produces a compressive stress layer during peening, which significantly increases the fatigue resistance of metal components like springs, gears, and welded fabrications. For finishing applications, the same controlled impact creates a uniform, low-Ra satin sheen without embedding contaminants into the substrate.

This grade is free of crystalline silica, making it a safer alternative to silica sand in both suction and pressure blast cabinets. It is compatible with standard air-blast systems and can be recycled multiple times when used with proper dust collection and media classification, reducing overall media consumption and waste.

Typical Applications

• Shot peening: Compressive stress induction on aerospace, automotive, and general engineering components to combat stress corrosion cracking and fatigue failure.
• Satin finishing: Cosmetic blending and matte finishing on stainless steel fabrications, architectural metalwork, and aluminum castings.
• Deburring and cleaning: Removal of light burrs, scale, and surface contaminants from machined parts, molds, and dies without altering critical dimensions.
• Surface preparation: Pre-paint or pre-coating anchor profile creation on non-ferrous metals where a non-metallic, non-contaminating media is required.

Selection and Handling Tips

For consistent results, maintain blast pressure between 40–80 PSI depending on the substrate hardness and desired finish. Always use a moisture separator in your compressed air line to prevent media clumping. Sieve the media periodically to remove fractured particles and maintain the specified size distribution. Store in a dry, covered area to preserve flowability and prevent contamination.
