What is glass bead peening?

Glass bead is used to blast clean a metal surface. Glass beads are a non-ferrous media which are used to peen metals such as stainless steel and aluminium. This media keeps the metal substrate free of ferrous contamination whilst still achieving a smooth satin finish. Metal surfaces often need to be cleaned and textured for aesthetic purposes. The bluish tinge from welding can be removed to give a more uniform finish.

As well as cleaning to a high finish, peening strengthens the metal at the surface level where fatigue cracks and corrosion normally occur and relieves stresses in metal near welding joints.
