Scope1.1 This specifi cation covers the requirements for ferrous metallic abrasive for the removal of rust, mill scale, paint, or other
2、surface coating system by blast cleaning.1.2 This specifi cation covers previously unused abrasive material. It does not address cleanliness of recycled abrasive processed through fi eld or shop abrasive blast cleaning units. Requirements for recycled ferrous metallic abrasive is covered in SSPC-AB
3、2.2. Description and Use2.1 Ferrous metallic abrasive can have two basic particle shapes: (1) spherical or round for shot; and (2) angular or ir-regular for grit, as defi ned in Sections 4.1.3.1 and 4.1.3.2.2.2 The size designations and specifi cations for shot and grit are given in Tables 1 and 2 (
4、see Note 7.2).2.3 ABRASIVE CLASS: Ferrous metallic abrasive is divided into two classes.2.3.1 Class 1 Steel Abrasive: Steel abrasive is char-acterized by low carbon content. Steel abrasive is not as hard as iron abrasive, and hence is more durable.2.3.2 Class 2 Iron Abrasive: Iron abrasive is charac
5、ter-ized by high carbon content and hardness typically over 55 Rc. The particle shape requirements for iron grit are less stringent than those for steel grit. 2.4 ABRASIVE SELECTION: The owner/specifi cation writer may defi ne the abrasive class, shape, size, and hard-ness to meet the job requiremen

The user of this specifi cation, as well as the user of all products or practi

NotesNotes are not requirements of this specifi cation.7.1 ABRASIVE PRODUCTIVITY: For greatest productivity, always use the fi nest size abras
43、ive that will effectively clean the surface and produce the proper profi le. Abrasive recycling machines should be set to retain all usable abrasive sizes in the working mix for maximum productivity and lowest abrasive consumption. Productivity is directly affected by such variables as particle size
44、, shape, number of particles, velocity, distance, and angle of attack, and hardness of the surface being cleaned. There is a maximum abrasive fl ow rate that provides highest productivity. Increasing the abrasive fl ow beyond the critical rate usually reduces productivity. 7.2 ABRASIVE HARDNESS: Abr
45、asive hardness may af-fect the performance of ferrous metallic abrasive as follows:51 Rcand higher hardness Increasing hardness increases the cutting rate compared to abrasive with hardnesses below 51 Rc(hardness of 51 on the Rockwell C scale), particularly when removing live (i.e., soft, fl exible)
46、 coating systems. Increasing hardness increases the surface profi le com-pared to abrasive with hardnesses below 51 Rc. Increasing hardness lowers the durability and increases abrasive consumption compared to abrasive with hard-nesses below 51 Rc.RC50 and lower hardness Good cutting rate for new ste
47、el and most coating sys-tems Lower profi le compared to abrasive with hardnesses of 51 Rcand higher. Higher durability but greater tendency to rounding compared to abrasive with hardnesses of 51 Rcand higher.7.3 ABRASIVE CHANGE WITH USE: With use, abrasive hardness, particle size, and particle shape
48、 will vary depend-ing on initial hardness, blasting velocity, and blasting method. Abrasive hardness may increase with continued reuse. Abrasive size will decrease with continued reuse. Because of change in hardness, shape, and size, it is important that new abrasive is added to the work mix on a regular basis to ensure quality and consistency of blast profi le and cleanliness.7.4 ABRASIVE SHAPE: Abrasive shape may affect the profi
