Abstract:  
Part 3 of a 5 part series Reprinted with permission from Ervin Industries Technical Bulletin October, 1995 In Part Two, the only miracle we asked of Cast Steel Shot/Grit and the abrasive blast equipment was to remove surface contaminants from the workpiece, and we explained how selection of abrasive size affects the effectiveness and efficiency of the operation. Now, in Part Three, we ask for two miracles: Remove the contaminant; AND provide a controlled anchor pattern profile that will assure optimum adherence and durability when bonding, painting, or coating the workpiece.
