Abstract:  
Magnetism and electrostatic attraction are two forces to be reckoned with in shot blasting operations. Either of these phenomenons will leave residual dust and fine particles tightly adhered to the work. This can cause problems when the so called clean work is further processed. Dies and other tooling are severely damaged by these hitchhikers.
