    A shot blasting machine is a device that utilizes a rapidly rotating impeller to propel steel grit or steel shots onto the surface of a workpiece to clean, strengthen, or enhance its appearance. When using a shot blasting machine on stainless steel materials, particular caution is required because stainless steel differs from ordinary carbon steel, and improper surface treatment may lead to corrosion or other issues.

    Firstly, it is not advisable to use steel grit for the surface treatment of stainless steel. During the shot blasting process, the steel grit may fragment, generating iron filings and ions that adhere to the stainless steel surface, easily causing electrochemical corrosion and accelerating stainless steel rusting. Furthermore, due to the different electrical potentials between stainless steel and steel grit, mixing them can create a galvanic cell reaction, leading to accelerated corrosion of the stainless steel surface.

    In actual production, to enhance the roughness and cleanliness of stainless steel surfaces, stainless steel shots are typically used as the blasting material. Stainless steel shots have high hardness and toughness, are resistant to fragmentation, and do not leave iron ions on the stainless steel surface, thereby avoiding the risk of electrochemical corrosion. Additionally, stainless steel shots have a long service life and high blasting efficiency, resulting in lower operating costs and significantly reducing dust emissions, thereby improving the working environment.

    For the shot blasting process of stainless steel materials, the following points should also be noted:

    1.Select an appropriate impeller speed for the shot blasting machine and the right granularity of steel shots to ensure that the surface roughness meets the requirements.

    2.Optimize the feeding method of the steel shots to ensure stable granularity and reduce fluctuations.

    3.Apply suitable blasting pressure and duration to avoid excessive impact on the stainless steel surface.

    In some cases, adding stainless steel materials to steel grit to improve certain properties, such as increasing the roughness of the steel grit or altering its characteristics, is not recommended. This practice may lead to corrosion issues with the stainless steel materials and mixing them may reduce the efficiency of the shot blasting machine and the surface quality of the workpiece.

    In summary, when processing stainless steel materials with a shot blasting machine, stainless steel shots should be used instead of steel grit, and process parameters should be strictly controlled to ensure the quality of the workpiece surface. Attention should also be paid to post-blasting surface treatments such as cleaning and passivation to further enhance the corrosion resistance and surface aesthetics of the stainless steel.
