Glass Bead Impact Media:

• Impart a controlled, clean finish on a variety of metals.
• Clean quickly without significant metal removal.
• Clean, finish, peen and deburr in one operation.
• Provide a unique surface finish
• Are consumed at a low rate and can survive multiple impacts, allowing for continuous recycling of the media.
• Cemically inert and will not leave ferrous or other undesirable residues on the surface of the workpiece.
• Contains no free silica.
• Environmentally safe.
• Backed by Potters extensive technical knowledge and support.

Typical applications:

Cleaning:

• Cleans and preps the surface of metal parts without changing tolerances, or imparting ferrous pollutants.
• Combines cleaning, finishing and peening in one operation.

Finishing:

• Creates a wide range of unique surface finishes that are easy to reproduce.
• Blends machine marks, seals pores and the results offer the advantage of glass bead peening.

Peening:

• Reduces the tensile stress in metal parts, increasing the fatigue limit.
• Reduces stress corrosion cracking.

• Removes burrs without damaging the parts and offers a peened surface in one operation.
