Subject: +AFs-oletrucks+AF0- bead blasting
+AD4-Deve
+AD4- Before you bead blast the sheatmetal look into plastic media blasting. In
+AD4-industrial terms, bead blasting means shot peening, it hardens the surface
of
+AD4-the metal, on sheetmetal parts bead blasting can cause brittleness and
reduce
+AD4-the flexibility of the metal, this can result in the formation of stress
+AD4-related cracks that can destroy an otherwise perfect and rare or
+AD4-nonreplaceable part. I have had one vehicle done with the plastic media and
+AD4-the results were very good. The cost may be a little more but the results
are
+AD4-worth it.
