PRESURFACE TREATMENT OF ALL MATERIALS BY SANDBLASTING

Abstract

Sandblasting is a general term which is used to describe the act of propelling very fine bits of material at a
high velocity. This process is used for cleaning or etching the surface before the treatment of the surface. Prior to
powder coating, painting or spray galvanization, metals are required to be sandblasted according to their surface
conditions. The use of diverse blasting materials creates various types of surface results. Various substrate surfaces (e.g.
steel, concrete, wood, glass, plastic etc.) and blasting materials create convincing effects and solutions. The aim of the
present work is to analyze the performance of sandblasting as a solution for presurface treatment of materials.
