Sandblasting Stainless Steel Pipe

Grit blasting leaves a rough profile that makes the stainless steel prone to crevice corrosion whether or not the surface is free of iron.

Sandblasting stainless steel pipe.

In the u s the depth profile is measured by mils thousandths of an inch in the metric system the micron one millionth of a meter is used. Typical blast media for tube and pipe are round steel shot steel grit aluminum oxide glass bead ceramic silicon carbide garnet and sands. Such form of the conveyor provides simultaneous rotation and transition movement of the pipes through the machine which can achieve evenly blasted surface. Blast materials that are free of iron oxide include walnut shell glass bead crushed glass and aluminum oxide.

Totten tubes provides premium custom steel sandblasting services for your steel tube pipe project requirement needs. Very hard media such as aluminium oxide can leave a jagged or torn faces to metal peaks on the surface whereas the softer media such as silicon carbide give a smoother finish.

We are focus on manufacturing and supplying inner steel pipe surface shot blasting machine for years. Diameter achieving blast media velocity from 260 to 360 feet per second fps. Blast wheels range from 13 to 27 in. All abrasive will leave a small amount of material on the surface after blasting.

Iron oxide is dissimilar to stainless steel and can cause a galvanic corrosion on the surface. However for a severely contaminated surface sandblasting can be used as a last resort. The resulting surface finish and hence surface corrosion resistance of the treated stainless steel is partly dependant on the blasting medium. The role of blasting a lot it can remove the stainless steel tube castings forgings or after heat treatment the oxidation of the surface skin but also can remove.

Steel pipe moves through the machine on skew roller conveyors. The distance between the top of the peak and the bottom of the valley is known as the depth profile. Sand blasting is the use of compressed air stream sprayed on quartz sand stainless steel pipe surface clean up or modification of the surface processing. Sand blasting can be divided into dry sand blasting and wet sand two kinds.

When a sufficiently hard abrasive particle strikes steel it deforms the surface into a valley and pushes up peaks. Pipe outer wall shot blasting machine also known as the diabolo shot blasting machine.
