Abrasive blasting is a highly efficient mechanical surface preparation technology used to clean, deburr, and finish industrial components. It operates by pneumatically or centrifugally propelling a high-velocity stream of abrasive media against a target substrate. Depending on the desired finish, the process utilizes various materials, including angular grits for aggressive cutting or spherical beads for gentle surface conditioning. This versatility allows manufacturers to effectively remove rust, mill scale, old coatings, and machining marks from diverse metals.
