Stainless Steel Grit is made by crushing Cr stainless steel into angular particles. When compared to iron-free and mineral blasting media, the service life is much longer. This allows for the cost-effective processing of materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, galvanized steel, concrete, and natural stone.
Transmet's Stainless Steel Grit consistently exceeds competing media in terms of durability, fracture resistance, and cleaning speed. Lifetime endurance is 30 times that of aluminum oxide, 50 times that of glass beads, and 60 times that of garnet.
Because of the advantages in durability and fracture resistance, Stainless Steel Grit is a more user-friendly blast medium. The image below compares the operator's perspective after only 40 seconds of blasting with Aluminum Oxide against 4 minutes of blasting with Stainless Steel Grit.
