Aluminum Cast Shot
Cast Aluminum Shot is a versatile lightweight blast media suitable for a range of applications, including rust cleaning, flash removal of light metal castings, gentle coating and paint removal, and cleaning gasket surfaces. It is especially useful in scenarios necessitating a non-contaminating blast media for aluminum parts. This durable, recyclable media is prized in industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing for its capacity to produce consistent, high-quality surface finishes.
– Provides a delicate touch for sensitive surfaces
– Effective in removing corrosion and rust
– Excels in coating and paint removal with a gentle approach
– Ideal for cleaning applications requiring a non-contaminating blast media
– Produces less dust compared to other blast media
– Outlasts glass bead or plastic media by over one thousand times
319 Alloy
The 319 alloy stands out as the most widely used and aggressive variant of Transmet Cast Aluminum Shot. Engineered to offer an optimal combination of hardness and durability, it boasts an average cycle life of 8,000 cycles. With its superior hardness, 319 is a solid option for general blast cleaning purposes.
2N Alloy
The 2N alloy, derived from high purity aluminum, is softer than the 319 alloy and less aggressive. It is utilized on delicate surfaces needing a smooth finish, boasting an average cycle life of 14,000 cycles. Ideal for cleaning softer, unprofiled surfaces, 2N also proves to be a fitting choice for diverse non-blasting applications.
