Sand Blasting Overview
Sand blasting uses compressed air to propel an abrasive medium, such as steel grit or aluminum oxide, against a surface. The choice of medium and grit size affects the resulting surface and part properties.
- Clean, matte finish:
Creates a clean, matte surface with a consistent texture.
- Surface preparation:
The resulting texture promotes adhesion for subsequent painting, coating, or bonding.
- Media selection:
Different media shapes, hardness, and grit sizes can be selected to suit the surface and application.
- Efficient surface cleaning:
Removes rust, paint, and scale faster than manual cleaning methods.
