Critical Notes
-
No Ferrous Contamination: Stainless steel grit leaves no ferrous residues on blasted surfaces, making it ideal for stainless steel, aluminum, and other sensitive metal applications where contamination must be avoided.
-
Work Hardening: The grit hardens during use from ~54 HRC to ~64 HRC, maintaining excellent cutting performance throughout its service life.
-
High Reusability: Due to its durability and work hardening properties, stainless steel grit can be recycled many times, providing long-term cost-effectiveness.
-
Low Dust Generation: Produces minimal dust during blasting, maintaining good operator visibility and reducing environmental impact.
-
Automation Compatible: Fully compatible with robotic blasting cabinets and automated surface preparation systems.
-
Applications: Used in stainless steel fabrication, aluminum processing, aerospace, automotive, medical devices, food industry, and precision coating preparation.
-
CAS Numbers: While stainless steel grit does not have its own CAS number, it is associated with 304 (65997-19-5) and 316 (12597-68-1) stainless steel alloys.
-
Comparison: Superior to carbon steel grit (which causes ferrous contamination) and aluminum oxide (which generates high dust and is non-reusable) for stainless steel and sensitive metal applications.
