What is Wet Blasting?
This section introduces the principle of wet blasting, a technique to spray a mixture of water and abrasives for surface processing. It also provides related basic information.
What is Wet Blasting?
Wet blasting (wet style blasting and liquid honing) mixes abrasives (projection material or media) with a liquid (mainly water) to create a "slurry" that looks like muddy water, which is sprayed by compressed air from a dedicated nozzle to process the target workpiece.
It is this collision with the workpiece that does roughening, grinding, polishing and such to its surface.
