White aluminum oxide blast media is a popular and efficient media type. Created from fusing alumina and iron filings in an arc furnace, this all-purpose media is ideal for honing and polishing parts. Next, it produces an ‘anchor’ pattern in preparation for re-coating various surfaces. Additionally, its angular shape performs well when removing heavy foreign matter. White aluminum oxide is excellent for deburring, etching glass and lettering stone. It is hard and extremely fast cutting. Thus it can be reused several times before discarding. White aluminum oxide blast media is also available in a variety of sizes. Finally, other uses for white aluminum oxide blasting material are etching medical/dental parts, preparing surfaces for coatings, engine parts, and preparation for welding and bonding.
