Glass Beads Blasting is a gentle yet effective surface finishing process that uses spherical glass beads as the abrasive medium. It is primarily used to clean, polish, and peen metal surfaces without altering their dimensions or removing material, making it ideal for delicate components and aesthetic finishes.
At SAI ASSOCIATES, we utilize high-purity glass beads and precision blasting equipment to deliver smooth, satin, and uniform finishes. This process not only enhances the appearance of components but also improves fatigue strength and corrosion resistance — ideal for industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical equipment manufacturing.
Provides a uniform, satin-like surface without affecting the base material dimensions.
Ideal for delicate components where precision and surface integrity are critical.
Improves fatigue resistance and corrosion protection through controlled surface peening.
