Abrasive Grit Blasting
NEST provides several types of finishes for parts and assemblies including abrasive grit blasting. These processes result in a dull, matte, or rough finish. Grit blasting is an inexpensive way to add some grip to the surface of a tube. Roughened surfaces can help to retain plastic or flexible tubing and secure epoxied assemblies.
This type of finish can be achieved by micro-blasting, glass bead blasting, sandblasting or any combination of the three. It also creates a uniform finish across a specific area or the entire part or assembly.
These processes can be completed with automation to process higher volumes or manually on small volumes for quicker setups or finer detail.
Abrasive blasting is a surface preparation process that uses a high-velocity stream of abrasive media—such as sand, aluminum oxide, or glass beads—propelled by compressed air or water to clean, smooth, or texture a material’s surface. This method effectively removes rust, scale, paint, and other contaminants, leaving behind a uniform finish that improves adhesion for coatings or welds.
Abrasive blasting is widely used across industries including metal fabrication, automotive, and construction, because it can handle both delicate and heavy-duty applications by adjusting the media type, pressure, and technique.
The process not only restores surfaces but also extends the life of equipment and components by eliminating imperfections that could lead to corrosion or failure.
New England Small Tube also offers Buffing and Electropolishing for smooth surface finishing.
