There are many different types of abrasive
blasting media available. Each of these media
will produce a different finish on the surface
being blasted. The finishes can range from
ultra-rough to nearly polished to no affect at
all. There are many variables that determine the
surface finish achieved including blasting
pressure, angle and distance of the blasting,
hardness of the grit media, blasting time,
etc. Knowing the basic differences in abrasive
blasting media is required to determine the
optimal process for different applications. In
addition to the media type, grit or mesh size is
another factor to consider. The final choice of
media depends on the nature of the work required
and on the blasting equipment that is
employed. The series of posts to follow this one
will deal with abrasive media selection only and
outline some of the advantages of the different
types of blasting media and some guidelines for
choosing the best media for your application
