Glass Beads 80 mesh

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.
