BENFITS OF WET BLASTING IN THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY

You may be familiar with wet blasting: the metal finishing process that involves the use of compressed air to project a combination of abrasive media and liquid onto the surface of a substrate.Wet blasting has been used since the 1950s for applications such as degreasing, die and mold cleaning, paint removal, and surface preparation prior to painting and edgebreaking.

Aerospace is one of the many industries that now uses wet blasting in various manufacturing processes. Aerospace wet blasting applications can range from metal removal from jet engine turbine discs to surface preparation when manufacturing or repairing various aircraft parts and components.
