Blast Cleaning
Magnesium Bracket “As Cast”
Blast cleaning can either be accomplished in an air blast system or a wheel blast unit. Abrasive Materials supplies many products well suited for blast cleaning applications. Many of our products are utilized for blast cleaning when ferrous contamination is of concern. Ferrous contamination can occur as ferrous residue is deposited on the surface of parts as a result of being blasted with standard steel shot or steel grit. Blast cleaning can be used to remove scale, rust, contaminants or for cosmetic finishing.
