Shot Blasting
What Is Shot Blasting?
Shot blasting is a surface treatment technique that makes use of particulate grains propelled under high velocity.
This process is a highly effective solution for removing contamination on metal substrates or changing the coarseness or smoothness of a surface before coating. The force in which the abrasive is propelled can be generated either centrifugally, using a wheel spinning at a high RPM, or pneumatically through the medium of compressed fluid or air.
Technically, shot blasting refers specifically to a process that uses spherical particles. Not to be confused with grit blasting which uses angular or sub-angular grains.
East London is the northeastern part of London, England, east of the ancient City of London and north of the River Thames as it begins to widen.
East London developed as London's docklands and the primary industrial centre.
The expansion of railways in the 19th century encouraged the eastward expansion of the East End of London and a proliferation of new suburbs. The industrial lands of East London are today an area of regeneration, which are well advanced in places such as Canary Wharf and ongoing elsewhere.
