Brush instead grit blasting

[divanis]

Dear Gordon

Simply, is it any possible to use wheel brush instead grit blasting to increase surface roughness. We have experienced that machine brushing gives very good adhesion , pretty much similar to grit blasting.

What roughness profile do you get with the brush?

Could you share details of the wheel brush?

We got an average roughness Ra=16 microns, by using tyrolit wheel brush which doesn't leave any impurities in workpiece when brushing. It is important to say that we use this procedure after preheating, and it's giving a good results. But on the other hand , we've seen that many of you first start grit blasting, and after 30min preheating and so on...

Our results seem to be very good, maybe a bit better if we found even better wheel brush

Hi Divanis, we use and have customers that use the Equipment below:

It is possible to get an anchor profile up to 120 Microns

If you need any info on it just give me a shout, I think most of the information is on the company website.
