Abrasive Blasting
Abrasive blasting is the operation of forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a surface under high pressure to smooth a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface, shape a surface, or remove surface contaminants. We use various abrasive medias for blasting.
The selection of the correct abrasive blasting media type is critical. Abrasive media are divided into hard abrasives and soft abrasives. Hard abrasives include aluminum oxide, garnet, silicon carbide, steel shot, steel grit and glass beads. Hard abrasives are used to remove rust and scale from hard metals, introducing a profile to metal surfaces, and peening to strengthen metal surfaces.
