Techfab utilizes 2 start-of-the-art shot blasting machines.
Techfab Structral Steel understands how critically important it is to start each project with clean, high-quality steel that is free of rust.
- Enhanced Surface Preparation - Steel shot blasters remove contaminants from the steel surface, creating a clean and uniform texture ideal for welding, painting, and coating. This improves adhesion and ensures the longevity of protective finishes, even in demanding environments.
- Improved Structural Integrity - By eliminating surface impurities, steel shot blasting helps detect and prevent potential issues such as cracks or weak points. This results in safer, more reliable structures for applications like office buildings, bridges, and industrial facilities.
- Increased Fabrication Efficiency - Pre-cleaned steel speeds up the fabrication process by reducing downtime spent manually removing contaminants. This efficiency allows manufacturers to complete projects faster and meet tight deadlines without compromising quality.
- Cost Savings - A clean surface reduces the need for rework, lowers the consumption of coatings, and minimizes wear on tools and equipment during fabrication, ultimately saving on production costs.
- Compliance with Industry Standards - Steel shot blasting ensures that structural steel meets strict industry standards for surface cleanliness and preparation, giving manufacturers confidence that their products will pass inspections and meet client expectations.
After shot blasting, the surface of the workpiece is stripped of scale, paint, and other impurities, revealing the original metallic finish. Additionally, the process helps eliminate internal stress within the workpiece, improving its fatigue resistance.
By removing impurities and creating a surface roughness conducive to painting, shot blasting enhances the adhesion of surface coatings during spraying, extends the coating's lifespan, and improves both surface and internal quality. Pre-treatment of steel can increase the corrosion resistance of mechanical products and metal components, improve the fatigue performance of steel plates, and extend their service life. It also optimizes the steel's surface condition, facilitating CNC cutting and precision blanking.
Furthermore, since the shape of the steel is relatively uniform before processing, it supports efficient mechanical rust removal and automated painting. Using steel pre-treatment significantly boosts cleaning efficiency, reduces labor intensity, and minimizes environmental pollution.
