Shot Blasting
What Is Shot Blasting?
Shot blasting is a surface treatment technique that makes use of particulate grains propelled under high velocity.
This process is a highly effective solution for removing contamination on metal substrates or changing the coarseness or smoothness of a surface before coating. The force in which the abrasive is propelled can be generated either centrifugally, using a wheel spinning at a high RPM, or pneumatically through the medium of compressed fluid or air.
Technically, shot blasting refers specifically to a process that uses spherical particles. Not to be confused with grit blasting which uses angular or sub-angular grains.
Mansfield is a market town in Nottinghamshire, England, the main town in the District of Mansfield and Mansfield Urban Area.[1] Mansfield gained the Royal Charter of a market town in 1227. The town lies in the Maun Valley, 12 miles (19 km) north of Nottingham, and is near Sutton-in-Ashfield. Most of the 106,556 population live within the town proper (including Mansfield Woodhouse), with Market Warsop as a secondary centre.[2] It is the only local authority in Nottinghamshire directly to elect its mayor.
