Abrasive blasting, also known as sandblasting or media blasting, is an integral step in the metal finishing process. It effectively removes any surface contaminants, rust, or scale from steel components, creating a clean and roughened surface. This preparation is vital for the subsequent phosphating process, as it allows for better adhesion and uniform coating of the phosphate layer.

Abrasive blasting offers numerous benefits for steel parts, including:

• Improved Adhesion: By creating a roughened surface, abrasive blasting enhances the adhesion of the phosphate coating, leading to a more durable finish.
• Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: Removing rust and contaminants reduces the corrosion risk, extending the steel components' lifespan.
• Superior Aesthetics: Blasting ensures a uniform surface, resulting in a more visually appealing finish after phosphating.
• Increased Efficiency: The blasting process prepares the surface for coating, speeding up the overall finishing process.

At LMC, we utilize state-of-the-art equipment and various abrasive materials to cater to different blasting requirements. Our process includes:

• Preparation: Ensuring the steel components are free from oil, grease, or other contaminants.
• Blasting: Using appropriate media and equipment to blast the surface of the parts, achieving the desired surface profile.
• Post-Blasting: Inspecting and cleaning the parts to ensure they are ready for the phosphating process.

We adhere to strict quality control measures to ensure consistency and compliance with industry standards.
