Surface Preparation
Solutions
From shot blasting and peening to descaling and precision deburring, Macloid Metalix engineers steel abrasives matched to the exact demands of your process.
Each application, precisely matched
Shot Blasting
High-velocity impact cleaning using wheel or air blast machines. Removes scale, rust, sand and contaminants from castings, forgings and structural steel.
Shot Peening
Controlled cold working that induces compressive residual stress to dramatically extend the fatigue life of springs, gears, shafts and aerospace components.
Surface Cleaning
Removal of rust, mill scale and old coatings to achieve defined cleanliness grades and the anchor profile required for durable paint adhesion.
Descaling & Deburring
Stripping tenacious mill scale from hot-rolled steel and removing burrs, flash and sharp edges from castings and machined parts before downstream processing.
