Performance and Application of 80 Mesh Glass Beads
The 80 mesh size is a versatile medium-fine grade. It is aggressive enough to remove light scale and corrosion but fine enough to leave a smooth, low-Ra surface finish. The spherical shape of the beads transfers kinetic energy uniformly, making it a preferred choice for shot peening applications where compressive stress must be induced without fracturing the surface.
This media is chemically stable and non-reactive, making it safe for use on non-ferrous metals where ferrous contamination from steel grit would cause after-rust or galvanic corrosion. It is also widely used for cosmetic finishing on consumer goods, automotive components, and architectural metalwork.
Operational Guidance for Blasting
For optimal results, use this media in dry blasting cabinets with a siphon or pressure pot system. Operating pressure typically ranges from 40 to 80 PSI, depending on the substrate hardness and desired finish. The media is designed for multiple impact cycles; however, the recycling rate depends on operating pressure and workpiece hardness. At higher pressures, the beads will fracture faster, reducing the number of recycles. Regular dust collection and media classification will help maintain a consistent finish.

Applications
Common industrial uses for this abrasive.
Shot Peening
Induces compressive stress on metal surfaces to improve fatigue resistance in aerospace, automotive, and spring manufacturing components.
Cosmetic Satin Finishing
Creates a uniform, low-gloss matte finish on stainless steel, aluminum, and consumer product housings without removing base material.
Deburring & Cleaning
Removes light burrs, scale, and surface contaminants from machined parts, castings, and molds without altering critical dimensions.
Blending & Surface Prep
Blends surface imperfections and prepares substrates for coating, plating, or anodizing by creating a clean, uniform profile.
