Copper Slag Abrasive is a dynamic abrasive media that is commonly used in steel maintenance and new steel applications. Because of its bulk density and angular shape, it is aggressive and produces clean, fast-cutting action, significantly enhancing production rates.
Copper Slag Abrasive is a dynamic abrasive media that is commonly used in steel maintenance and new steel applications. Because of its bulk density and angular shape, it is aggressive and produces clean, fast-cutting action, significantly enhancing production rates. Our company has established a standard in the market by providing clients with dependable and speedier copper slag blasting services. Copper Slag Abrasive is mostly used for surface cleaning of metal, stone, and other materials that aid in cleaning and shaping the metal's surface.
Copper slag is a by-product of copper production that is commonly used as an abrasive material for surface preparation and cleaning in various industrial applications. It is produced when the copper ore is processed into pure copper metal, and the leftover material, which is mainly composed of iron, silica, and other impurities, is discarded.
Copper slag is similar in hardness to sand blasting materials such as garnet and steel shot, and is available in various particle sizes, ranging from very fine to coarse. It is commonly used as a blasting media to remove rust, paint, and other coatings from metal surfaces or to etch a surface in preparation for painting or coating.
Copper slag is also used in cement production, as a substitute for sand and other natural aggregates. It improves the strength and durability of concrete and reduces the environmental impact of cement production.
One of the advantages of copper slag is its low silica content, which makes it safer to use than other abrasive materials that contain high levels of silica. However, it is still important to handle copper slag with care and to follow safety guidelines when using it, as it can be hazardous if inhaled or ingested. Proper protective equipment should be used when handling copper slag to minimize the risk of injury or exposure.
Copper slag blasting is a process in which copper slag, a by-product of copper smelting, is used as an abrasive material to remove rust, paint, and other contaminants from metal surfaces. The copper slag is typically used in a abrasive blasting machine, which shoots high-pressure streams of abrasive material at the metal surface to remove unwanted substances.
Copper slag blasting has several advantages over other blasting materials, including its high hardness, low dust generation, and low silica content. These properties make it an excellent choice for cleaning metal surfaces, particularly in applications where dust and silica exposure are a concern, such as in the construction, shipbuilding, and automotive industries.
Copper slag uses in Abrasive blasting, building materials, landfilling, road construction, abrasive tools, cutting tools, tiles and glass, and roofing granules. Due to its low silica concentration and suitability for open blast cleaning, copper slag abrasive is a low-cost expendable abrasive that does not provide the same health risks as silica sand. Its firm, angular particles can offer a great surface profile and quick cleaning.
