A review of expendable abrasives

Abstract

Since the first sand‐blasting machine was patented by Tilghman in 1870 abrasive blasting has grown from a means of decorating glass through a method of removing sand from castings, into the standard method of preparation of steel work prior to painting. Abrasive blast cleaning now forms a major part of the painting contracting and building restoration industries as well as retaining its older applications in dressing castings.
