Ceramic Media
Dense, durable and efficient for steel, stainless, cast iron, titanium and hard alloys.
Heavy burr removal, edge rounding and robust parts.
Abrasive Media Selection
Select ceramic, plastic, steel and specialty media by cutting rate, part protection, lodging risk and finish target.
Technical guidance for manufacturers evaluating deburring, polishing, descaling and edge-rounding equipment.
Plastic Media
Lighter and gentler for aluminum, zinc, brass, copper and cosmetic soft-metal work.
Pre-plate smoothing and reduced impingement risk.
Steel Media
High-density burnishing media for brightening and surface compaction.
Polishing stages where heavy burr removal is already complete.
Shape logic
Media shape and lodging risk
| Shape | Strength | Lodging risk | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Triangle | Good edge access and cutting | Medium | General deburring |
| Cone | Good access to radii and holes | Medium to high | Complex machined parts |
| Angle-cut cylinder | Stable flow and broad contact | Medium | General finishing and smoothing |
| Ball | Low cutting, high burnish | Low | Brightening and polishing |
| Pyramid | Aggressive point contact | High | Heavy burr removal |
Rule of thumb: keep at least one media dimension larger than any feature where lodging is unacceptable, unless the process is designed for media to pass through that feature.

Request Media Sizing Support
Send part drawings with holes, slots, threads and counterbores marked so media lodging risk can be reviewed before trial.
