Stainless Steel Tumbling Media
Stainless steel tumbling media is known for its wear resistance, and in most instances lasts much longer than ceramic, plastic, and bio-based vibratory media.
Stainless Steel Tumbling Media
Stainless steel vibratory media performs a variety of finishing applications, often in one step, without specialized or dedicated equipment, reducing processing times. The use of stainless steel greatly reduces the risk of corrosion in your mass finishing applications.
Common finishing applications for stainless tumbling media include mass finishing, deburring, deflashing, polishing, burnishing, fast metal removal, surface improvement, and cosmetic finishing.
Stainless Steel Tumbling Media Shape Options:
Standard shapes & sizes available, including but not limited to:
- Balls
- Barrels
- Cones
- Ball Cones
- Oval Balls
- Diagonals
- Pins
Steel Tumbling Media Composition Options:
- Stainless Steel – ideal applications include corrosion-sensitive steel. Recommended to use when rust-free is essential. Stainless steel also reduces the amount of chemistry needed in most processes.
- Carbon Steel – typically used in burnishing applications but can also provide a light edge break or deflashing.
