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.
Potters Bar is a town in Hertfordshire, England,[1] 13 miles (21 km) north of central London. In 2011, it had a population of 21,882.[2][n 1] In the 2021 census, the four wards that make up Potters Bar - Bentley Heath & The Royds, Furzefield, Oakmere and Parkfield - had a combined population of 22,536. This includes several smaller outlying hamlets contained in the Bentley Heath & The Royds ward, such as Bentley Heath and Ganwick Corner. In 2022 the population was around 23,325.[3]
Within the historic county of Middlesex until 1965, the town dates to the early 13th century but remained a small, mainly agricultural, settlement until the arrival of the Great Northern Railway in 1850.[4] It is now part of the London commuter belt.[5]
