Major problems with aluminum oxidations.
Major problems with aluminum oxidations.
(OP)
My company benchmarked a new process about a year ago by blasting mill aluminum with aluminum oxide media to prevent slipping on a major product. The product looks great when it leaves the shop but by the time it reaches to feild for instalation the oxide has sped up the oxidation process and is a solid black color. Which is almost impossibe to get out. We have tried to use a VCI barrier paper with little to no effect. Does anyone have any suggestions? Possibly using a different type of blast media????/

A chemical passivation will help.
You might be better off with a scored or scribed surface than blasting. They could drain then.

Corrosion, every where, all the time.
Manage it or it will manage you.
