Cleaning aluminium without losing dimensions: what to know

Why aluminium is sensitive

The soft aluminium surface is easily damaged by aggressive dry blasting. The wet method with fine media handles oxidation without touching dimensions.

Choosing media and pressure

Glass beads at lower pressure remove oxidation and leave an even matte surface. The result is both aesthetic and functional.

Typical applications

Cylinder heads, covers, wheels, motorcycle parts. Anywhere appearance and the precision of mating surfaces both matter.
