Descaling
Guyson manufacture premium blast finishing equipment, highly suited for descaling various surfaces.
Benefits of Descaling
Descaling components is essential for applications where total cleanliness is crucial.
- Decreases potential for part failure
- Lowers surface roughness average (RA)
- Creates surface uniformity
- Creates better coating adhesion
Guyson’s Descaling Examples
- Guyson’s Euroblast range of sandblasting machines are highly effective for descaling metal products
- Guyson’s Tumbleblast machines provide a highly-efficient solution for achieving batch descaling of components, such as fasteners, gears and castings
- Grit blasting, using abrasive blast media, is often used for industrial applications to remove scale in the fettling of castings or to descale surfaces before welding
- Guyson’s metallic blast media are highly suited for cleaning, descaling and peening applications

FAQs
What materials require industrial descaling processes?
Industrial descaling processes are required for a range of metals and plastics, that are used in equipment that comes into contact with water or is exposed to high temperatures. Examples include; stainless steel, ferrous metals and steel, copper, aluminum, plastics and composites.
Can descaling be performed without damaging the substrate?
Yes, descaling can be performed without damaging the substrate if care is taken to match the appropriate process to your application requirements.
Guyson offers free no obligation trials to help identify the correct process for your application. Contact the team today, to find out more.
How does ultrasonic cleaning assist with scale removal?
Ultrasonic cleaning can assist with scale removal, with the cavitation process able to dislodge stubborn mineral deposits and scale from component surfaces.
How is shot blasting used for descaling components?
Shot blasting is highly effective for descaling component surfaces because the abrasive media is blasted at the component, helping to remove the layer of scale and oxidation from the part and reveal a decaled surface.
Which Guyson shot blasting machines have been used for descaling components?
Guyson Formula 1400 and Euroblast manual shot blasting cabinets provide high quality etching and engraving on glass parts. Guyson Euroblast GL cabinet is recommended for etching flat glass surfaces. Guyson automated shot blasting systems, such as the Multiblast RSB and RXS machines have been used for hollow glass etching.
How can I know if descaling is the correct finishing application for my shot blasting process?
