A COMPARISON OF INHIBITIVE BLASTING TECHNIQUES

FRESHLY ABRASIVE BLASTED STEEL OFTEN CORRODES IN A HUMID ATMOSPHERE RESULTING IN POSSIBLE COATING FAILURE. A LABORATORY STUDY OF DRY, INHIBITIVE BLASTING METHODS SHOWED THAT INCORPORATION OF 5% STEARIC ACID IN THE ABRASIVE PROVIDED EXCELLENT INHIBITION TO ATMOSPHERIC CORROSION AND WAS SUPERIOR TO MIXTURES OF ABRASIVE AND ZINC OR ALUMINUM GRANULES. MOREOVER, STEARIC ACID PROCESS ELIMINATES NEED FOR TEMPORARY COATINGS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ABRASIVE BLASTING. /AUTHOR/
