CHARACTERISTICS OK THE ABRASIVE STREAM DEPENDING ON DESIGN FEATURES AND OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS OF A THROWING UNIT IN AN AIRLESS SHOT-BLASTING MACHINE

摘要

The paper summarises the research data gathered to find how the design of a throwing unit should affect the velocity and range of an abrasive stream. A thorough analysis of the abrasive blast cleaning cycle shall be useful in optimisation of the throwing unit operation, in terms of the intensity and range of the abrasive stream and hence the quality of castings being cleaned.
