Glass Beads 60 mesh

60 Mesh Glass Beads for Precision Surface Preparation

Glass beads in the 60 mesh size range are a workhorse media for applications requiring a clean, bright finish without dimensional change. The spherical particle shape transfers impact energy evenly, making this grade ideal for shot peening fatigue-sensitive components and for blending surface imperfections on machined or fabricated parts.

Unlike angular abrasives that cut or fracture, glass beads work-harden the surface layer, improving resistance to stress corrosion cracking. The 60 mesh size provides a practical balance—fine enough for smooth, low-roughness finishes, yet aggressive enough to remove light scale, discoloration, and minor burrs.

Common industrial applications

• Shot peening: Springs, gears, turbine blades, and welded fabrications where fatigue life extension is critical.
• Satin finishing: Architectural metalwork, automotive trim, medical devices, and consumer products requiring a uniform matte or satin appearance.
• Deburring and blending: Precision-machined components, die castings, and stampings where edge rounding must not alter critical dimensions.
• Surface cleaning: Removal of light oxides, heat-treat scale, and surface contaminants from non-ferrous and stainless steel parts.

Selection and process guidance

60 mesh glass beads perform best in dry blasting cabinets at pressures between 2.8 and 5.5 bar (40–80 psi). For peening, Almen intensity and coverage should be established per AMS 2431 or equivalent specification. Media breakdown is gradual; typical consumption rates depend on blast pressure, impact angle, and part hardness. Sieve analysis and periodic media reclassification help maintain consistent finish quality over multiple cycles.

SPA2Z offers flexible pack options to match your consumption volume: 25 kg bags for trial and low-volume use, 50 kg bags for regular production, and 1-ton jumbo bags or bulk totes for continuous blasting operations. Drums are also available where preferred.
