Shot blasting application

Casting & weld cleaning

A shot blasting machine opens up castings and weld zones so inspectors see the metal, not burnt sand, slag or heat tint.

What this application is

Casting & weld cleaning with a shot blasting machine

Casting and weld cleaning uses a shot blasting machine to remove burnt-on sand, scale, slag, spatter and heat tint after pouring or welding.

Foundry parts often leave the mould with a crust that hides porosity and dimensional issues. Fabricated welds collect spatter and oxide that interfere with NDT, machining or a cosmetic finish.

Tumble, table and hanger machines are typical here because batches of similar parts can be processed while the operator loads the next fixture. The finish should reveal the true surface without washing away edges that the drawing still needs.

  • Inspection you can trust
  • Batch throughput
  • Better weld cosmetics

Why it matters

How this application is useful

A shot blasting machine earns its place on the line when this process cuts rework, hits a spec, or replaces slow manual prep.

Inspection you can trust

NDT, visual checks and machining set-ups work on bare metal instead of residual sand or slag.

Batch throughput

Tumblast and hanger machines clean many castings or weldments per cycle with consistent coverage.

Better weld cosmetics

Spatter and oxide come off before grinding, reducing hand work on visible seams.

Prep for the next process

Machining, coating or assembly starts from a clean datum, not a foundry skin.

Fewer hidden defects

Burnt sand and heat tint no longer mask porosity, undercut or incomplete fusion.

Less fettling time

A controlled blast reduces chipping and grinding around gates, risers and weld toes.
