The advantages of cleaning extrusion dies by wet blasting
Did you know wet blasting (or vapor blasting to give it its other name) has several advantages over other die cleaning processes…
- Unlike dry blasting, dies do not have be dry from the caustic dip stage before being wet blasted - saving valuable time.
- Thanks to the cushioning effect of the water in the wet blast process there is no risk of damaging or rounding edges.
- Because of the effectiveness of wet blasting some users can reduce the time needed in the caustic dip.
- Dies are left with an even reactive surface that is perfect for nitriding prior to storage.
