Ensuring Excellence with Rigorous Standards

QUALITY CONTROL

BH rigorously inspects steel through a detailed process to ensure product quality. Sampling involves random selection from each batch for comprehensive testing, including chemical analysis and mechanical properties. Samples are mounted in bakelite and examined microscopically to assess hardness using ASTM E 384 standards, check microstructures after etching, and identify defects such as voids and cracks. Density tests and magnetic separation quantify nonmagnetic contaminants, ensuring low impurity levels. Finally, sieve analysis confirms particle size distribution, adhering to SAE J444 standards. This meticulous approach ensures each batch of steel shots meets stringent quality criteria.

Regarding the Stainless Steel Abrasive Media

In addition to leaving an iron-free blasted surface, stainless steel shot eliminates the risk of embedded steel particles on metal surfaces. This prevents the formation of rust points on high-value items such as the steel frames of recreational vehicles and car-hauling trailers, ensuring long-lasting protection and a pristine finish.

Stainless steel abrasive media are crafted from high-quality stainless steel alloys such as 304, 430, or 410, tailored to specific applications.
