Global and U.S. White Aluminum Oxide Blast Media Market Report,

White Aluminum Oxide Blast Media is a high-purity abrasive material made from fused aluminum oxide (Al2O3) with an alumina content typically above 99%. It is produced by fusing calcined alumina in electric arc furnaces at temperatures exceeding 2000°C, followed by crushing, sizing, and precision grading. The result is a sharp, angular, and extremely hard abrasive suitable for surface cleaning, deburring, etching, and coating preparation. Unlike brown aluminum oxide, the white variant contains minimal iron or impurities, ensuring non-contamination of blasted surfaces. It is widely used in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and precision manufacturing for applications requiring clean, smooth finishes and tight dimensional control. Its high hardness (Mohs 9) and thermal stability also make it ideal for refractory and lapping applications.

Case study for bidding

Time: September 2023

Supplier: Washington Mills

Buyer: Rolls-Royce plc

Product: High-Purity White Aluminum Oxide Blast Media (F120 grade, 99.5% Al2O3)

Quantity: 9,200 tons

Contract Value: USD 18.6 million

Delivery Timeline: August 2024

Detailed Application Scenario

In this project, Rolls-Royce utilized Washington Mills' high-purity white aluminum oxide blast media for surface treatment of turbine blade alloys and precision aerospace components. The F120 grit provided a fine, uniform surface finish that enhanced coating adhesion and reduced micro-defects prior to thermal barrier coating application.

The media's low iron content and high hardness ensured no surface contamination, preserving the metallurgical integrity of superalloy substrates. Rolls-Royce implemented automated blasting systems with recycling units to optimize media consumption and achieve consistent roughness across large component batches.

This blast media was selected for its superior purity, high recyclability, and stable performance under high-pressure blasting. Compared to brown aluminum oxide or glass bead abrasives, it offered longer service life, lower dust generation, and compliance with NADCAP and AMS 2431 standards. The project demonstrated the critical role of white aluminum oxide in precision surface finishing for aerospace manufacturing.
