Stainless Steel Media
Stainless steel media allows for faster finishing times, eliminates the need for expensive, consumable compound solutions and rust inhibitors, and reduces the storage, maintenance and handling costs of carbon steel media. Rust inhibitors are usually unnecessary and maintenance procedures for overnight and longer-term shutdowns are considerably simplified. Stainless steel media more effectively resists damage should the compound delivery system fail and the vibratory process continue. It also eliminates iron impregnation of components from the chemical interactions that take place during some finishing processes.

Stainless steel media is used for polishing and burnishing and is recommended for aggressive processes. Its substantial weight (heavier than carbon steel) exerts added pressure and increased resistance to effectively reduce finishing time. Stainless steel media imparts compressive stress, improves pre-plate finish and reduces porosity on plated parts. It also eliminates or reduces the need for compounds and rust inhibitors and eliminates iron contamination.

Tapering to pointed ends, pins reach into recesses and grooves, deflash through-holes and clean threaded areas. Strictly for reaching recesses. Must be mixed with other shapes to produce good results. Round balls with slight flattening at pole ends. Precise roundness is not required for the majority of steel media finishing applications. Thus, two small flat spots at opposite poles are not objectionable. Pole-flattened balls are less expensive to manufacture and customers benefit from these economies through lower prices.
Packaged in 50 lb boxes.
Additional sizes available upon request.
