The shot blasting process utilizes a centrifugal blast wheel that shoots media, like steel shot, onto a surface at high velocity.
Grit blasting is a process where abrasive particles are accelerated and forcefully directed against a surface.
Glass beads are solid glass spheres. Because of their high strength, chemical stability, limited thermal expansion, and good flowability.
The major uses of speciality aluminium oxides are in refractories, ceramics, polishing and abrasive applications.
Shot peening is a cold work process used to impart compressive residual stresses on to the surface of a component.
