Zusammenfassung:With advantages over dry blasting such as cleaner parts, more consistent finishes, a cleaner work environment, a higher level of process control and the ability to automate, wet blasting has virtually no limitations when used for coatings preparation. Here, Beckman discusses the benefits of wet blasting. According to Vixen, the lubrication and flushing action of water during the blasting process results in a finer finish compared to dry grit and bead blasting methods. Also, a byproduct of the wet blasting process is washing; therefore, in many cases, a precleaning step is not necessary like it is for the dry grit process. When learning about wet blasting, it is difficult not to mention and compare the dry grit blasting process. First, wet blasting can be controlled to a high accuracy rate unlike dry grit blasting. In dry grit and bead blasting processes, the abrasive particles are propelled onto the surface without water involvement.
