Precision in Sandblasting

The following applications are intended for the surface finishing using blasting media such as ceramic, stainless steel and glass beads:

• matting

• deburring

• compacting

• removing of annealing colour

• removing remnants of welding processes

• removing of surface contamination

 

Blasting achieves a homogenous, matt surface. This effect is required for surgical instruments in order to avoid unwanted reflections when using them under operating lights.

​

Shot peening increases the internal compressive stress of the component surface. This has a positive effect on the fatigue behaviour as well as the corrosion resistance.The sandblasting units at Innotool & Greminger are exclusively used for surgical instruments made of stainless steel.
