Ceramic beads B170 for red copper shot peening
Ceramic beads B170 a spherical ceramic sand made from zircon sand. It is widely used in shot peening of high-quality metal materials. B170 ceramic microbeads offers the following advantages for shot peening red copper parts:
1. Excellent surface quality and smooth finish.
B170 ceramic beads has a uniform particle size and is spherical or quasi-spherical in shape, without sharp corners. When shot peening red copper parts, it creates a relatively uniform impact on the workpiece surface. B170 ceramic sand is relatively soft and has a smooth surface. During the shot peening process, it exerts a gentle impact on the copper workpiece surface, making it less likely to cause scratches, cracks, or other damage. It achieves a high surface finish and reduces surface roughness fluctuations. After shot peening, the red copper parts have a soft gloss, enhancing the workpiece’s appearance.
2. It provides a strong strengthening effect, increasing surface fatigue strength and relieving stress.
When ceramic sand B170 impacts the red copper surface during shot peening, it causes plastic deformation, increasing the dislocation density on the surface and improving the red copper‘s surface hardness. The spherical ceramic particles can induce a certain degree of plastic deformation on the red copper surface, improving the fatigue strength of the workpiece and reducing the possibility of fatigue cracking under alternating loads.
3. High shot peening efficiency and high reusability.
Ceramic sand B170 is made from zirconium oxide, making the particles extremely durable. Furthermore, its hardness also reduces wear and breakage during the shot peening process compared to other spherical abrasives. Therefore, it can be reused multiple times, reducing shot peening material consumption and lowering the operating costs of abrasive consumables. It also reduces equipment downtime caused by frequent shot peening material changes, further improving production efficiency.
4. More environmentally friendly, the shot peening process produces less dust.
Due to its inherent properties, ceramic sand B170 generates relatively little dust during the shot peening process. This not only improves the working environment and reduces the harm to the health of operators, but also reduces the pollution to the surrounding environment, meeting environmental protection requirements.
