In this study, a new portable garnet blasting unit targets for weld joints in W.B.T. was developed. The field data clearly indicated that the potable garnet blasting method can be a valuable tool for small damaged area and weld seam in confined area with increase in the blasting productivity by 20%. In order to predict and optimize the pressure drop and air consumption in air blasting system, semi-empirical equations have been developed
Garnet has proven itself to be an exceptionally high-performance abrasive over the last 25 years. It is efficient, low dusting, consistent, environmentally friendly and worker safe. Knowledgeable blasters favor garnet and facility engineers specify it. As a very heavy and hard mineral, garnet offers a unique blend of high-performance characteristics unmatched by conventional dry abrasives. The only perceived negative to blasting garnet is a higher cost per ton.
Recycled steel grit and shot have a well-established place in the industry and long, successful track record.
Abrasive material forms a major component for surface preparation in coating applications. Since blasting method developed in 1890s, abrasive materials and its application methods also significantly improved to enhance blasting efficiency. In general, steel grit and shot ball are being used predominantly as metallic abrasives. Garnet and coal slag are used as non-metallic abrasives. Each abrasive is selected andapplied in accordance with the work location and substrate material of structures to be coated. In this study, we have evaluated a new artificial non-metallic abrasive (ferrochrome slag) which is a by-product from ferrochrome production process for stainless steel. This evaluation also included the checking of surface cleanliness performance and coating quality based on international test methods and field trials. For verifying the cleanliness quality, various tests were conducted as per international standards (ISO 8501-8503). Sea water immersion test (ISO 2812-2) and cyclic test (ISO 12944-9) were carried out to checkcoating performance after blasting. The field test results indicates that all inspection and quality criteria of surface preparation were met as per international standards. Furthermore, coating performance test results also showed this abrasive does not have any adverse effect on coating properties.
