FAQs
How does shot blasting achieve controlled surface etching?
Shot blasting achieves controlled surface etching by blasting a substrate to create an etched finish to an area of the surface. The etching of the desired area is often achieved through the use of a stencil, shielding the rest of the component and isolating the blasting area to achieve the desired etched design.
How is consistency maintained in industrial etching?
Industrial blast etching can be controlled for consistent results thanks to Guyson’s automated blast machines. These automated systems offer an unparalleled level of repeatability, through the setting of process parameters ensuring consistent results for all parts processed.
To verify the required process parameters to achieve the desired results, Guyson offers free no obligation testing which we encourage you to take advantage of to verify your process. Contact the team today, to find out more.
