Copper Slag: Economical Abrasive Uses

Copper slag is a byproduct of copper manufacturing. It is a low-cost abrasive material used for blast cleaning steel surfaces. Due to its low silica content, copper slag does not pose health hazards associated with silica sand. Its sharp edges provide fast cleaning and surface preparation through profile creation ranging from 40-120 microns depending on the grade. Copper slag is economically suited for cleaning steel surfaces where abrasive recovery is not practical due to industrial applications including shipbuilding, oil and gas infrastructure, and steel fabrication.

Copper Slag

Copper Slag is a by-product in the manufacturing of copper. It is a low


cost expendable material suited for open blast cleaning. Due to its low
silica content, it does not pose any health hazards created by silica sand.
Its sharp, hard cutting edges provides a fast cleaning action and excellent
surface profile preparation.

Copper Slag is one of the most economical abrasives available for


cleaning steel surfaces where recovery and reuse are not practical.

Applications
 Coarse grade is used for the removal of heavy corrosion and coating leaving a surface profile
about 100 to 120 microns.
 Medium grade is used for cleaning mill scale and medium rust removal, creating of surface
profile of about 60 to 80 microns.
 Fine grade is used on new steel to remove mill scale and light rust resulting in the surface
profile of about 40 microns.
