Abrasive blast cleaning can be used to roughen an existing coating for subsequent overcoating or to completely remove the existing corrosion products, coating, and mill scale. Abrasive blast cleaning is the most productive of all surface preparation methods. Thousands of square feet/meters of surface can be prepared for coating in a single work shift. The hardness and mass of the abrasive media combined with the velocity of the abrasive as it exits a nozzle at speeds exceeding 805 kilometers per hour (500 miles per hour) using air pressures up to 90psi generates high levels of energy. As the abrasive media impacts the surface with this energy, it can remove existing coating layers, corrosion and mill scale, while simultaneously increasing the surface area of the steel by generating a surface profile or anchor pattern. The level of cleanliness that is achieved is ultimately determined by the distance that the nozzle is held from the surface and the "dwell time" that the operator employs. The depth and shape of the surface profile is determined by the type and size of the abrasive media employed, as well as the hardness of the surface being prepared.
