Sandblasting Stainless Steel Pipe

The reason to choose us 1 blast wheel 100 made by ours.

Sandblasting stainless steel pipe.

In the u s the depth profile is measured by mils thousandths of an inch in the metric system the micron one millionth of a meter is used. Pipe outer wall shot blasting machine. However for a severely contaminated surface sandblasting can be used as a last resort. Grit blasting leaves a rough profile that makes the stainless steel prone to crevice corrosion whether or not the surface is free of iron.

The role of blasting a lot it can remove the stainless steel tube castings forgings or after heat treatment the oxidation of the surface skin but also can remove. Very hard media such as aluminium oxide can leave a jagged or torn faces to metal peaks on the surface whereas the softer media such as silicon carbide give a smoother finish. Blast materials that are free of iron oxide include walnut shell glass bead crushed glass and aluminum oxide. Iron oxide is dissimilar to stainless steel and can cause a galvanic corrosion on the surface.

Pipe outer wall shot blasting machine also known as the diabolo shot blasting machine. Steel pipe moves through the machine on skew roller conveyors. Typical blast media for tube and pipe are round steel shot steel grit aluminum oxide glass bead ceramic silicon carbide garnet and sands.

When a sufficiently hard abrasive particle strikes steel it deforms the surface into a valley and pushes up peaks. Thus grit blasting should be avoided. Sand blasting is the use of compressed air stream sprayed on quartz sand stainless steel pipe surface clean up or modification of the surface processing. All abrasive will leave a small amount of material on the surface after blasting.

The resulting surface finish and hence surface corrosion resistance of the treated stainless steel is partly dependant on the blasting medium. Such form of the conveyor provides simultaneous rotation and transition movement of the pipes through the machine which can achieve evenly blasted surface. Sand blasting this method is generally unsatisfactory. The distance between the top of the peak and the bottom of the valley is known as the depth profile.

Sand blasting can be divided into dry sand blasting and wet sand two kinds. Blast wheels range from 13 to 27 in.
