Garnet sand is used in sandblasting and rust removal widely
Generally, work pieces exposed to air for extended periods are affected by moisture, oxidation, exposure, and corrosion, leading to rust and an oxide layer. This significantly shortens the work piece’s lifespan, necessitating regular cleaning. Currently, the most effective method is sandblasting the work piece surface with garnet sand. This is also one of the fastest and most effective methods available.
Garnet sand sandblasting mainly utilizes compressed air to form a high-speed jet, which can spray garnet sand at high speed onto the surface of the work piece, thereby generating rapid impact and cutting on the work piece surface, giving the work piece surface a certain degree of roughness and cleanliness.
Garnet sand is widely popular in the market, mainly due to its excellent properties. Garnet sand exhibits a dodecahedral and octahedral polyhedral structure, and has high hardness and good toughness. In sandblasting, it can quickly cut and grind objects, thoroughly cleaning deep and uneven parts and holes, giving the work piece a metallic luster after sandblasting.
