Shot blasting is a versatile surface treatment technique used across various industries for different purposes. Here are some of its key applications:

1. Smoothing Surfaces of Cast Pieces and Enhancing Hardness: It removes surface irregularities from cast pieces and improves their hardness.
2. Relieving Tensile Residual Stress by Inducing Compressive Stress: The process helps eliminate tensile residual stress in materials by introducing compressive stress.
3. Removing Surface Defects: Shot blasting effectively removes surface imperfections such as corrosion, microcracks, and porosity.
4. Increasing the Lifespan of Cast and Rolled Parts: The abrasive penetration deeply into the parts extends their lifespan.
5. Cleaning and Improving Mechanical Properties of Large Parts: It is used for rapid cleaning and mechanical enhancement of large components like gears and shafts.
6. Rust Removal, Sand Removal, and Paint Stripping: Shot blasting effectively cleans external surfaces of parts by removing rust, sand, and old paint layers.
7. Layer Removal from Forged Part Surfaces: The process is effective in removing surface layers from various forged components.
8. Preparing CNC Cut Parts (such as Forgings): Shot blasting prepares the surfaces of CNC-cut parts for further processing.
9. Surface Preparation for Welding, Electroplating, Galvanizing, Metalworking, Enameling, Plastic Coating, Glass Coating, Glass Acid Etching, Shot Peening, and More: It prepares surfaces for various treatments and coatings, ensuring better adhesion and finish.

Shot blasting is essential in manufacturing and maintenance processes, providing an efficient method to prepare, clean, and enhance the surface of materials before the final finish or further processing.
