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.
Fully recyclable, significantly reducing waste while promoting environmentally practices.
Ideal for sensitive applications, eg. stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals.
Achieves smoother, brighter surfaces while minimizing workpiece damage effectively.
Consistently provides uniform results for cleaning, polishing, grinding and surface preparation.
Ensures long-lasting performance and prevents rust contamination during blasting processes.
Suitable for a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and food processing.
Exceptional wear resistance allows for extended usage and reduced replacement costs.
Faster blasting times and lower energy consumption compared to traditional abrasives.
