Abstract:  
Presented by Michael H. Johnston, CAE Electronics Ltd., at the 1995 DOD/Industry Aerospace Coatins Conference. Reprinted with permission from Proceedings of the 1995 DOD/Industry Aerospace Coatins Conference. The dry media blast nozzle has undergone little change over the past forty-five years. The Laval nozzle (mistakenly terms the Venturi nozzle) has been the basis of particle energization for nearly all dry media blasting processes.
