Grit Blasting – Process and Benefits

Also termed abrasive blasting, grit blasting is an industrial service that involves the concentrated application of steam comprising abrasive material propelled against the surface to create surface smoothing, shaping, or roughening. It is designed to eliminate contaminants on the surface. This blasting process has different variations that deliver particular benefits. At S.T. Cotter Turbine Services, Inc. we offer high quality grit blasting services in association with our installation, repair, and maintenance services.

Grit Blasting Application

The process of grit blasting eliminates scale and sand in the fettling of castings and is also used for dressing billets and stampings. Prior to welding, this process is often utilized for the removal of paint, rust, or scale.

Based on the application work involved, abrasive particles and propellants can be modified for best results. These particles can range from soft particles propelled by compressed air to sharp emery particles delivered through high-pressure water or steam.
