Shot Blasting & Sand Blasting
Shot blasting and sand blasting are essential surface treatment processes widely used in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, and automotive. These techniques are highly effective in preparing surfaces for further treatment, enhancing durability, and improving the overall appearance of metal components.
Shot blasting involves propelling abrasive materials, such as steel shots or grits, at high speed onto the surface. This process removes rust, scale, and impurities while also strengthening the material through a process called shot peening. Shot blasting is particularly suitable for heavy-duty components that require a robust and uniform finish, making it a preferred choice for tractor linkage parts, structural steel, and industrial machinery.
Sand blasting, on the other hand, uses fine abrasive particles like sand or silicon carbide to clean or smooth surfaces. This method is ideal for intricate or delicate parts, as it provides precise control over the material removal process. Sand blasting is commonly used for decorative purposes, surface texturing, and preparing parts for painting or coating.
Both methods significantly enhance the longevity and performance of components by improving adhesion properties and protecting against corrosion. Companies like Tracforge incorporate these techniques to ensure their products meet the highest quality standards, delivering reliable and durable solutions to their customers.
