NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is pleased to highlight its offering of high-quality glass beads, a versatile and effective abrasive medium widely used in surface treatment and finishing processes. These glass beads are manufactured to strict quality standards, ensuring consistent performance and reliable results for a multitude of industrial applications. Unlike harsh abrasives, glass beads provide a gentle yet effective peening and cleaning action, making them ideal for delicate parts or applications where material removal must be minimized.
The key characteristics of these glass beads include excellent chemical stability, high mechanical intensity, and notable hardness. These properties enable them to withstand the rigors of abrasive blasting systems while maintaining their spherical shape, which is crucial for achieving uniform surface profiles and minimizing damage to the workpiece. When propelled with compressed air, the spherical nature of the beads allows them to impart kinetic energy upon impact, resulting in surface enhancement through processes like peening and polishing.
Typical applications for high-quality glass beads span across various industries. They are extensively used for cleaning diverse types of molds, including those for impact forging, general forging, glass, rubber, plastic, metal casting, and extrusion. Their ability to effectively remove residues and contaminants without altering the mold's dimensions is highly valued. Furthermore, glass bead blasting is a critical process for improving the fatigue life and enhancing stress corrosion resistance of metal components. This is achieved by inducing beneficial compressive stresses on the surface, a technique known as shot peening. Components like aircraft engine turbo blades, shafts, landing gear, various springs, and gears frequently benefit from this treatment.
In the electronics industry, glass beads are employed to clean and remove slitter edges and burrs from circuit boards and plastic-sealed transistors before soldering, ensuring reliable connections. They are also used in the medical sector to clean and provide a bright, uniform surface finish on mechanical instruments and automobile parts. Other uses include cleaning electrical components during heavy repairs and deburring metal tubes and non-ferrous metal tubes. The beads are also utilized for peening aggrandizement and polishing of textile machinery parts, demonstrating their broad applicability.
The technical specifications of these glass beads are critical for their performance. They are characterized by a clean, transparent appearance with minimal visible bubbles or impurities. A typical density ranges from 2.4 to 2.6 g/cm³, and their hardness falls within 6-7 on the Mohs scale. A high percentage of spherical beads, typically greater than 80%, is maintained to ensure consistent blasting results and prevent scratching. The high SiO₂ content, exceeding 72%, contributes to their durability and chemical inertness. Available particle sizes can range significantly, often from 45 micrometers up to 850 micrometers, allowing users to select the appropriate grade for their specific application requirements.
For packaging, the glass beads are typically secured in durable bags designed to prevent leakage and protect against moisture. Standard packaging often involves multi-layer bags, commonly 25kg net weight per bag, although packaging can often be customized based on client needs. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to providing high-quality raw materials to meet industrial demands.
For businesses looking to source reliable abrasive media, obtaining these high-quality glass beads is a straightforward process. Whether you are a large-scale manufacturer or a specialized surface treatment facility, finding a dependable glass beads supplier is essential for operational efficiency and product quality. Information regarding the glass beads price and minimum order quantities can be obtained directly from the manufacturer.
