The Difference Between Glass Beads And White Aluminum Oxide Abrasives
The essential difference between the two is the raw material composition. The main component of white aluminum oxide is aluminum oxide, while the main component of glass beads is silicon dioxide. The hardness of white aluminum oxide is among the best in the field of abrasives, while the hardness of glass beads is slightly worse. Glass beads have a rounded appearance similar to a sphere; the appearance of white corundum is mostly hard edges and corners with irregular grain size. Secondly, the sandblasting efficiency and effect of the two are different. White aluminum oxide forms a matte sandblasting effect on metal stainless steel. Its main function is to increase the roughness and increase the adhesion of the subsequent paint surface. Glass beads will not damage the metal, and the surface of the artifacts will be brighter after sandblasting.
