INOX-CrNi is a Kuhmichel stainless steel blasting medium for demanding blasting processes. It is suitable for shot peening applications as well as for use in the concrete and natural stone industry.
It delivers reproducible results and consistently stable blasting performance in daily operation. Users benefit from long service life, reliable processes and outstanding corrosion resistance.
There are two versions with the same physical properties and grain shape. They differ in nickel content: approximately 4.5 % in INOX-CrNi and 7.5 % in INOX-CrNi+. The most suitable version depends on the application and on each customer's requirements.
