[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 452736, member: 25383"] In industrial uses they will use all sorts of things to cleans parts. They still use tumblers and vibratory units a lot (as well as blasters). Blasters are not used a lot anymore unless they are cleaning cast iron or cast aluminum parts, and then they use either steel or walnut shells. The latest thing for cleaning finished aluminum is plastic granuals that looks like long 4350 powder granuals. (maybe a half inch long). You see this stuff in vibratory units as well as tumblers. The stuff seems to last for five or six weeks of 24/7 usage, and the parts come out extremly clean inside and out. Somewhere I got a coffee can full of the stuff to try one of these days. As for stainless steel media; I kinda wonder if the stuff will work harden the thin brass necks a little bit? Concob media always did the trick for me, but on the otherhand never was in love with the idea of running a needle thru every flash hole. gary [/QUOTE]
