Because these are non-standard, they are typically manufactured through:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Laser\/Waterjet Cutting: Best for custom Inner Diameters (ID), Outer Diameters (OD), or complex shapes (like square or slotted washers) without needing expensive tooling.<\/li>\n
- CNC Machining: Necessary if the washer requires a specific thicknessor stepped profile with tight tolerances.<\/li>\n
- Stamping: Most cost-effective for large quantities (thousands of units), though it may require custom die sets for non-standard sizes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
2. Sandblasting Finish Benefits<\/p>\n
Sandblasting (also known as bead blasting) on 316 stainless steel provides several advantages:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Surface Roughness: Can achieve a specific RA value (e.g., 1.2 RA), which is crucial for clean rooms in the pharmaceutical industry.<\/li>\n
- Uniform Appearance: Removes discoloration, weld burns, and tool marks, creating a consistent matte finish.<\/li>\n
- Maintenance: The diffuse reflection of a sandblasted surface makes fingerprints and water stains less noticeable than on a mirror-polished surface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

For non-standard 316 stainless steel sandblasting washers, you are likely looking for a custom-sized component with a specific matte, non-reflective finish. Since 316 stainless steel is the preferred “marine grade” for its high resistance to chlorides, combining it with a … Continue reading
