Third chapter on the applications of microspheres in Glass Microspheres In the third chapter on the applications of glass microspheres in industries such as aeronautics, automobiles, pharmaceuticals and food, this time it is the turn of factories such as paper mills, shipyards and household goods manufacturers.
Petroleumrefineries and petrochemical industry
– Cleaning of pump components, compressors, valves, pump shafts, fans, plungers, heat exchanger tubes and distillation tower elements, electrical parts, instrument parts and other accessories.
Papermills
– Revision of printing control instrument sensors.
– Elimination of corrosion caused by chlorides at contact points.
Aeronauticalsubcontractor industry
– Deburring in the manufacture of housings for electronic components, metal wing accessories, stainless steel discs.
Bulbmanufacturing
– To coat the inner surface of the bulbs with a thin layer of aluminum, the bulbs are filled with glass microspheres and aluminum powder.
– Fuses filled with glass microspheres to prevent fires and explosions when light bulbs melt.
Shipyards and Navy
– Repair and maintenance of boiler components.
– Cleaning of water tanks, radar masts, ammunition heads, weapon components, rocket launching tubes to remove corrosion.
Cutting tool factories: the automotive and mechanical engineeringindustry
– Cleaning of drills, reamers, broaches, milling cutters, etc.
– Removal of thin burrs from the cutting wires by shot blasting, where the resistance is increased.
– Cleaning of cutting erosion on treated metal tools.
Precision mechanics and optics, watchmaking industry
– Deburring and preparation for galvanic treatment of mechanical parts, measuring devices, etc. A clean surface, free of metallic skins improves adhesion. A non-reflective satin surface is created that allows for a solid grip of the treatment.
Manufacturing of steel and aluminum pots and pans
– Surface finishing, removal of machining marks, preparation for Teflon® coating and enameling.
