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.

​Rhyl (/rɪl/; Welsh: Y Rhyl, pronounced [ə ˈr̥ɨl]) is a seaside resort and community in the Welsh county of Denbighshire. It lies within the historic boundaries of Flintshire, on the north-east coast of Wales at the mouth of the River Clwyd (Welsh: Afon Clwyd). To the west is the suburb of Kinmel Bay and the resort of Towyn beyond, to the east Prestatyn, and to the south Rhuddlan. At the 2011 Census, Rhyl had a population of 25,149, with Rhyl-Kinmel Bay having 31,229.[2] The Abergele–Rhyl–Prestatyn conurbation numbers over 60,000. Once an elegant Victorian resort, an influx from Liverpool and Manchester after the Second World War changed the town's face. It had declined sharply by 1990, but has since been improved by major regeneration investments. Several million pounds of European Union funding to the Welsh Government has gone on developing the seafront.
