Different Types of
Abrasive (Sand) Blasting
2
Abrasive blasting, also known as sandblasting, is
a method where a medium is used to help smooth or
polish a hard texture. Rust and corrosion are
common pestilences in a world full of machinery
and metal parts. Luckily, abrasive blasting is a
quick and effective way to get these metal parts
working and looking their best. This technique
can also be used to prepare surfaces for
repainting. Abrasive blasting, as the names
indicate, is a process wherein an abrasive
material (referred to as medium) is used to blast
through a surface in order to smooth it or remove
impurities. A significant amount of pressure is
used to squeeze the grit and cause the blast. The
amount of pressure used usually determines how
quickly the process goes and the reliability of
results.

Silicon Dioxide or Silica Sand
Ordinary sand, also known as silica or quartz, is
referred to as silicon dioxide. Silica
Sandblasting was a popular method of removing
impurities from surfaces because sand particles
are approximately the same size and have sharp
edges, creating this type of grit efficient in
abrasive blasting.
4
Soda
Soda sandblasting is the process of blasting with
baking soda or bicarbonate of soda. Soda is used
as an abrasive to remove rust from metals without
damaging the metal beneath the rough surface.
Soda is also an excellent grit for use on
delicate materials that may be damaged by harder
abrasives.
5
Steel Grit
Steel grit is used as an abrasive in this process
to remove paint and rust from steel metals. Steel
is used to create a smooth finish. Steel grit is
frequently preferred due to its ability to cut
quickly.
6
Glass Bead
Glass bead sandblasting is best for a matte and
satin finish because it contains very fine
materials that polish the surface of the material
being sandblasted. Cabinets are frequently
subjected to this type of abrasive blasting.
7
Bristle Blasting
There is no separate medium used in this type of
abrasive blasting. Steel wire bristles are
instead rotated on a surface. This spinning
action helps in the removal of impurities,
resulting in a smooth surface. This method is
frequently used to clean corrosion metal
surfaces. Source https//euroblast.livejournal.c
