Shot Blasting
Shot Blasting
Shot blasting directs a high speed stream of abrasive particles at metal, to clean, roughen or polish the surface. For mild steel we use ferrous (chilled iron) grit. For non-ferrous and stainless steel we use aluminium oxide media.
Shot blasting is used for a variety of purposes:
Roughens the surface of mild steel to increases adhesion of powder primers which provide an additional layer of corrosion protection without the need for galvanizing. (Finishes Plus +).
Reduces some surface defects in base material.
Used before galvanizing to increase the thickness of zinc.
Can be used as a second stage in paint stripping.
Cleans rusty material to reveal base metal
Steel fabrications that can't be galvanized will benefit from shot blasting and powder priming for external applications.
Where drainage holes and visible welds are not wanted, shot blasting and powder priming may be an alternative. This can increase design possibilities for complex fabrications.
Shot blast and priming must always be followed by the application of a polyester top coat.
