What is “Chip Blasting”? In this context, “chip blasting” likely refers to abrasive blasting or shot blasting, but with a very fine, controlled abrasive. It’s used for precision cleaning, deburring, surface texturing, and preparing surfaces for coatings—not for aggressive stripping of heavy materials. The use of silicon carbide, one of the hardest common abrasives, indicates
Green Silicon Carbide (GC) 220# is well-suited for the roughing and intermediate grinding stages of alumina ceramics due to its high hardness and sharp cutting ability. 1. Why Green Silicon Carbide (GC) is the Right Abrasive High Hardness: GC has a Mohs hardness of about 9.2-9.5, which is higher than alumina ceramic (approx. Mohs 9). This
The Core Principle: Surface Preparation is Everything For a non-stick coating (like PTFE/Teflon or ceramic) to adhere properly and have a long service life, the substrate (usually aluminum or stainless steel) must be perfectly prepared. This preparation involves three key steps, and GSiC is crucial for the first one: Cleaning & Degreasing Abrasive Blasting (The
1. Core Function: Superior Surface Preparation The primary goal of surface preparation is to create a surface that allows the coating to adhere perfectly. This involves: Cleaning: Removing all contaminants (rust, mill scale, old paint, salts, oil). Creating a Profile (Anchor Pattern): Etching the metal surface to increase its surface area and create mechanical “teeth”
1. What is Green Silicon Carbide F320? Green Silicon Carbide (SiC): A synthetic mineral known for its exceptional hardness (9.5 on the Mohs scale, close to diamond) and sharp, brittle crystals. It has high thermal conductivity and is purer than black silicon carbide. F320: This is the grit size according to the FEPA standard. F320 corresponds to
Using green silicon carbide (SiC) for polishing ceramic boilers is a very specific and effective application, leveraging the unique properties of this abrasive. Here’s a detailed breakdown of why it’s suitable, how it’s used, and important considerations. Overview: The Goal of Polishing a Ceramic Boiler The primary reasons for polishing the ceramic surfaces inside a
