Sandblasting is a surface preparation process that uses high-velocity abrasive media to clean and prepare a material surface. It can remove rust, paint, coatings, mill scale, dirt, and other surface contamination.

Although it’s called sandblasting, modern abrasive blasting uses various media such as Garnet, Aluminium Oxide, Glass Beads, Steel Grit, and Steel Shot, depending on the material and application.
