BL-FineBz
【Blasting & peening beads of alumina-zirconia 】
BL-FineBz is fused-beads and best for blasting and peening.
Mixture of “Corundum(Al2O3)” and “Baddeleyite(ZrO2)” gives high hardness
and toughness.
Benefit





High durability due to the high hardness(HV1000) and dense structure.
10 times or more longer life compared with glass beads.
High-efficiency blasting operation with high specific gravity compared to glass beads.
Non-toxic, harmless and chemically stable.
20-100 micron beads can also be supplied.
Applications
