abrasiveblastingOne of the original settlers of the wet abrasive process was Norman Ashworth they found the satisfaction of using a wet method a strong alternative to dry blasting. The rule is available in all standard formats including hand cabinets, walk-in booths, automated production machinery, and total waste portable blasting units. Advantages include the ability to use extremely fine or poor media with frequencies ranging from plastic to steel and the ability to do hot water and softener to allow synchronous degreasing and blasting. The decline in dust also makes it safer to use salicaceous elements for blasting, or to remove dangerous material such as asbestos, dangerous or harmful goods.
Method speeds are usually not as fast as standard dry abrasive blasting when using a similar size and type of media, in part because the behavior of water between the tools and the substrate being processed creates a lubricating seat that can protect both the outside and the media, decreasing breakdown rates. Reduced impregnation of blasting element into the surface, dust reduction and the removal of unvarying cling can result in a very clean surface. However wet blasting of mild steel will result in fast or 'flash' corrosion of the blasted steel substrate due to the presence of water. The lack of surface recontamination also allows the use of single equipment for various blasting services—e.g., stainless steel and mild steel items can be processed in the same equipment with the same media without problems
