Glass bead blasting is a finishing process in surface treatment to give the surface of components made of aluminum, brass, stainless steel and other non-ferrous metals an even, satin appearance.

Glass bead blasting compacts the surface in the top layer area in order to break the light reflections very easily. Glass bead blasting is often used as a preliminary process before anodizing aluminum. Stainless steel as well as brass and other non-ferrous components usually get this final finish through glass bead blasting.

Like glass bead blasting, stainless steel shot blasting is also a type of surface finishing to achieve finely structured matt surfaces on aluminum, brass, stainless steel and other metals.

Stainless steel shot blasting differs from glass bead blasting, among other things, in the use of a different blasting agent. The professionals at MWM have many years of experience in surface technology, particularly in the areas of grinding, polishing, matting, glass bead blasting and stainless steel shot blasting of the above-mentioned metals. The MWM team also offers the following processes of electroplating, anodizing, painting and powder coating.
