Shot Blasting
Preparation of surfaces before painting or as a decorative finish
For stripping and preparing surfaces for subsequent coating, chilled iron grit is the usual choice.
By controlling the grade of the grit and the particle velocity used, both the cleanliness of the object and the profile of the surface can be varied.
