Hey,
I'm still not getting good bead blasted results, a bit better, but not what I expect. I have put in an oil trap right outside of the blast cabinet and changed out the beads. I'm running 200 grit glass at 90 psi, I'm getting a much better peening effect, but still having a very dull gray'ish cast to the parts. I've checked for continuity and all is well. The other side of the test piece, which is polished, seems to be coming out fine. I've done several tests with nearly the same results. The test pieces are always lacking in color saturation. When doing step density tests, there is nearly no difference in the time steps on the blasted side, where as on the polished side the steps are very recognizable and very vivid in color. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Easttex
