1
Cleaning result
Remove sand, scale, oxide and surface contamination without slowing production.
Application Solution
Foundry & Die Casting Surface Cleaning
Abrasive media selected for casting cleaning, sand removal, descaling, deflashing and consistent surface preparation before coating or assembly.
Sand
Remove residual sand and core material from castings.
Scale
Clean oxide, rust and heat-treatment scale.
Burrs
Support deflashing and light deburring after casting.
Cost
Improve media life, cleaning speed and process stability.
What foundry buyers care about
The page focuses on practical production concerns instead of long introductions: cleaning result, media selection, workpiece material and operating cost.
2
Media selection
Match steel shot, steel grit or stainless shot to material and finish requirement.
3
Media consumption
Stable hardness and size distribution help improve recycling life.
4
Batch consistency
Consistent media supports predictable blasting results from batch to batch.
Application Scope
From rough casting cleaning to coating preparation.
In foundry and die casting operations, blasting is used to remove residue, improve surface uniformity and prepare parts for downstream finishing.
Sand and core residue removal
Scale and oxide cleaning
Deflashing and light deburring
Coating and painting preparation
Surface appearance improvement
Consistent batch-to-batch cleaning
Recommended abrasive media
A simplified recommendation structure based on material type and cleaning intensity.
Best Match
Steel Shot
Best for general casting cleaning, sand removal, descaling and light deburring on iron and steel castings.
S230 · S280 · S330 · S390 · S460
Aggressive Cleaning
Steel Grit
Used when castings require stronger cutting action, heavy scale removal or a rougher surface profile.
G25 · G40 · G50
Non-Ferrous Option
Stainless Steel Shot
Suitable for aluminum and zinc die castings when a cleaner, brighter finish and lower ferrous contamination risk are required.
