Shot
Blasting
We
operate a walk in recirculating shot blast room
using chilled iron grit suited for items upto 3m
x 3m
x 2.8m. Chilled iron grit tends
to remove paint and contaminants quicker than grit
blasting but leaves a harsher key and is not suitable
for aluminium or softer metals. Chilled iron grit
is also not suited to corrosion sensitive items
such
as
engine parts or stainless steel because of its
ferrous content.
Cleaning
& Coating
Because
of the aggresive surface deformation and the ferrous
abrasive material used, items shot blasted require
coating shortly after cleaning. Under certain conditions
a holding primer can be applied which will
provide adequate
protection for a few weeks should you require
surface treatment elsewhere.
Applications
Iron
grit is good for removing paint, deburring, removing
sand from castings, providing a sound key for painting,
removing scale and after heat treatment.
