Steel Grit & Pag -aaral ng Kaso sa Kaso ng Bakal - Proyekto sa Pagpapanatili ng Shipyard

Challenges in Shipyard Maintenance

This Steel Grit & Steel Shot case study highlights how shipyards manage heavy rust and old coatings during vessel maintenance. Traditional abrasives often create too much dust, reduce blasting efficiency, and increase costs. Therefore, contractors looked for blasting media that could:

• Remove heavy rust and marine coatings efficiently

• Deliver a uniform surface profile for recoating

• Minimize dust and health risks for operators

• Reduce overall blasting costs through recyclability

Why Steel Grit & Steel Shot Were Selected

The project demonstrated the reliability of steel abrasives supplied by Lianshun Abrasives. These metallic abrasives offer strong cutting action, long durability, and the ability to be reused many times.

Key Benefits:

• Fast Rust Removal: Steel Grit’s angular particles cut through tough corrosion.

• Consistent Surface Profile: Both abrasives achieved SA 2.5–3 cleanliness levels according to ISO 11126 standards.

• Low Dust Operations: Unlike mineral abrasives, metallic media produced significantly less airborne dust, improving worker safety.

• Cost Efficiency: Steel Shot and Steel Grit can be recycled many times, reducing consumption per project.

Project Results – Shipyard Blasting Case Study

After blasting, the ship hulls showed clean and roughened surfaces, ready for protective coatings. Consequently, contractors reported:

• 40% faster blasting speed compared to traditional abrasives

• Lower abrasive usage per square meter

• Improved coating adhesion for long-term seawater resistance

• Safer working conditions thanks to reduced dust

Conclusion – Reliable Sandblasting Media Supplier

This case study confirms the reliability of Steel Grit & Steel Shot in large-scale surface preparation. Overall, metallic blasting media remain one of the most efficient and cost-effective solutions for shipyards, Mga Pipeline, Mga tulay, and industrial facilities.
