CATEGORIESHongming Sheng provides bead blasting for custom CNC machined parts and sheet metal components, with finishing requirements reviewed alongside the drawing, material and intended use.
Glass bead blasting is commonly selected for a satin or matte appearance and light surface cleaning. We can discuss the desired texture, visible faces, protected features and any subsequent anodizing or coating.
Compressed air propels rounded glass beads against the surface, creating fine impact marks that change how the metal reflects light.
The process can blend light machining marks and create a more uniform appearance. An approved reference sample helps define the expected texture and sheen.
Consistency depends on process control: Media size and condition, pressure, nozzle angle, distance and exposure time all influence the result. These should be considered together with the material and part geometry.
Images provide visual references. A physical sample or agreed acceptance criteria can be used to define the required production finish.
| Glass Beads | Rounded media commonly used for satin finishing and light cleaning of suitable metal surfaces. |
|---|---|
| Steel Shot | Metallic shot used for selected cleaning and peening tasks. Its purpose and substrate compatibility should be reviewed separately. |
| Aluminum Oxide | Angular abrasive used for cutting, roughening and surface preparation when an abrasive profile is required. |
| Plastic Media | Selected cleaning or coating-removal applications where a less aggressive medium is appropriate, subject to a part and process review. |
Choose the medium for the substrate, desired finish and following treatment. Glass bead finishing, grit blasting and shot blasting serve different objectives.
Our team coordinates CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication and specified surface treatments for prototypes and production orders. Typical parts include equipment housings, covers, brackets and mechanical components.
Finishing scope, cosmetic surfaces and inspection requirements can be agreed during drawing review, with sample approval where required.
Send your part information so we can review the surface finish and manufacturing requirements.
