Glass blasting of stainless steel and aluminum is a surface treatment process that aims to smooth, clean and give a uniform appearance to metals. It involves the jet impact of glass microbeads on the material, which by hitting the surface remove impurities, dullness or minor irregularities, and at the same time gently polish the material.

Why is it worth it:

Improving aesthetics
Glass blasting allows you to obtain a uniform, matte and satin surface, which is particularly attractive in the decorative, automotive and architectural industries. For stainless steel and aluminum, it is an excellent way to give an elegant finish that is not only practical, but also visually attractive.

Cleanliness
The process removes all oxides, dirt and residues from previous processing operations.

Corrosion protection
The glass blasting process removes impurities and oxides from the surface, which can improve corrosion resistance, especially in the case of stainless steel. A clean and smooth surface better withstands weather conditions and aggressive chemical environments.

Safety
Bead blasting is a gentle process that does not change the mechanical properties of the metal or cause surface stresses, which minimizes the risk of damage.

Improved mechanical properties
Bead blasting makes the metal surface more resistant to minor scratches and mechanical wear, which increases the durability of the components. The process does not cause significant material removal, which means that the shape and dimensions of the part remain almost unchanged.
