Separate cryogenic and ambient processes
When flash embrittles before the part body, liquid-nitrogen deflashing may work. Thermosets, glass-filled plastics and some alloy components may instead suit ambient nylon-media blasting.
Evaluate gates separately
Thick gates fracture differently from thin flash. Increasing media size or blast intensity is not always the answer. Confirm the gate geometry, acceptable residual height and surface requirements.
- Confirm low-temperature material toughness
- Separate thin flash from thick gates
- Compare surface changes with sample tests
