Effect of Surface Conditioning on Corrosion Resistance Using New Vs. Traditional Abrasive Blasting Media Types

Surface conditioning is the first step in building efficient corrosion protection on a part or structure. Key concerns during this step include, how to create a stronger anchor-profile and how to efficiently remove previously coated, damaged, or corroded elements from a materials surface prior to coating. The ideal solution must consider three areas of the surface conditioning process: finish quality, cleaning efficiency and total cost.

Surface conditioning is the first step in building efficient corrosion protection on a part or structure. Key concerns during this step include, how to create a stronger anchor-profile and how to efficiently remove previously coated, damaged, or corroded elements from a materials surface prior to coating. The ideal solution must consider three areas of the surface conditioning process: finish quality, cleaning efficiency and total cost. This study compares the performance of various blasting media used for surface conditioning. Considered media includes a new engineered ceramic media, compared to traditional media such as a quality domestic source of brown fused alumina (BFA), garnet, coal slag and staurolite. Materials were selected based on their similar performance and cost position relative to each other.
