Shot Blasting & Priming FAQs
What Is Shot Blasting?
Shot blasting is a process that cleans, polishes, or strengthens metal surfaces by blasting them with abrasive materials at high velocity. This prepares the steel for subsequent treatments, such as priming or painting.
Why Is Priming Important After Shot Blasting?
Priming after shot blasting is crucial because it provides a protective layer that prevents corrosion and enhances the adhesion of subsequent coatings, ensuring the longevity and durability of the steel.
What Materials Can Be Shot Blasted?
Shot blasting is typically used on steel and other metals. It’s ideal for preparing surfaces for painting, coating, or welding by removing rust, scale, and old paint.
How Does Shot Blasting Improve Steel Performance?
Shot blasting removes surface impurities, improves texture, and increases the metal’s resistance to wear and tear. When combined with priming, it extends the life of steel components, especially in harsh environments.
