The Process
Sand and shot blasting are technical services that require the use of machinery and expertise. For this reason, it is important to pick an organization that knows what it is doing.
Shot blasting is used to clean, polish, and strengthen metals. It is one type of abrasive blasting, in which a high-pressure stream of abrasive material is propelled towards a surface. Shot blasting uses metals, whereas sand blasting, as the name suggests, blasts sand to achieve the same goal.
Abrasive blasting can be used to roughen a smooth surface, to smoothen a rough surface, to shape and polish a surface, or to clean it by removing surface contaminants. It can either be wet or dry, but shot blasting and sand blasting are both types of dry abrasive blasting.
Sand blasting, specifically, can include bead blasting and soda blasting. You could either opt for a water-driven process or an air-driven process. Water-driven process is used to reduce surface deterioration and can be used on brick and concrete surfaces. Air-driven processes are better equipped to deal with metal surfaces since it would not cause moisture build up or water logging.
The following materials can be sandblasted:
- Glass
- Stone
- Wood
- Silver
- Aluminum
- Metals
Shot blasting is an equally useful alternative. It can remove corrosion, preparing the surface for further processing like painting. It can also be used to highlight any surface defects.
It typically uses small steel pellets, but other options could include chilled iron grits and steel grits, which work equally well, but the right choice needs to be made depending on the material and type of surface.

Shot Blasting is a process which is used to clean, strengthen and polish metals. It is one of the processes of “Abrasive blasting”. Also most of the abrasive blasting is shot blasting (with metal shots) and sand blasting (with sand) only. This blasting operation refers to the operation of forcibly propelling a high-pressure stream of abrasive material against a surface in order to:
- Smooth a rough surface
- Roughen a smooth surface
- Shape a surface
- Remove surface contaminants
Shot Blasting is a method used to clean or prepare surfaces prior to use. Mechanical force is used to propel blast media at the surface to be cleaned to remove contaminants. Shot Blasting is referred as one of the process of abrasive blasting. Types of abrasive blasting include:
- Bead
- Wheel
- Wet
- Automated
- Hydro
- Micro
- Dry ice
- Bristle
Abrasive blasting systems typically include three essential components, as follows:
- Abrasive container (blasting pot)
- Propelling device
- Blasting nozzle
The advantage of the procedure is that it keeps the surface intact, while everything else is removed. There are two main types of blasting: dry and wet. The type of abrasive used in a particular application is usually specific to the blasting method.
Frequently Asked Questions?
Sand blasting is a process that involves propelling abrasive materials, such as sand, at high speeds to clean, smooth, or etch the surface of an object. It removes rust, paint, scale, and other contaminants, preparing the surface for further treatment or coating.
hot blasting is a similar process to sand blasting, but it uses small metallic or non-metallic particles, known as shot, to clean, polish, or strengthen the surface of an object. Shot blasting is commonly used to remove rust, scale, burrs, and surface imperfections.
 Metal can be cleaned, peened, or polished by using shot blasting. Almost all sectors of the metal-using industry, such as construction, foundries, aircraft, automobiles, shipbuilding, and rail, use shot blasting. Shot blasting uses the following two technologies:
wheel slamming
blowing air
The processes that are used in mechanical surface cleaning are shotblasting and sandblasting. The removal of corrosion, paint, and other films, as well as the preparation of the surface for coating, are regular practises in many businesses that use metal. Both techniques include blasting the cast iron work to get rid of the old paint layers. However, there are just a few principle and application type distinctions between the two procedures.
Sand and shot blasting can be applied to various materials, including metals (such as steel, aluminum, cast iron), concrete, glass, stone, and certain plastics. The process is versatile and can adapt to different surface compositions and requirements.
