Grit blasting is a process by which abrasive particles are made to impinge on a component to clean or modify its surface properties.
Particles range from walnut shells, through various sands, to silicon carbide,
alumina or emery particles, depending on the application.
Grit blasting is used to
remove sand and scale in the fettling of castings, and for dressing of
stampings and billets, etc. It is often used to prepare surfaces before welding
(removal of scale, rust or paint), and afterwards to improve the adhesion of
coatings (e.g. paint, or galvanising).
