Abstract
Abstract: When a metal is exposed to atmosphere, it gets corroded by atmospheric air. To overcome this sand blasting process are used. When machining leaves the sharp burrs or edges on an object, sandblasters can smooth it until it is safe to handle. Sand blasting is a method used to clean, polish or strengthen metal with the help of abrasive material. Sand blasting is used in almost every industry that uses metal, including aerospace, automotive, construction, shipbuilding, rail, and many others. Sand blasting machines uses abrasive material like steel grit, glass bead, sand. The blast media is pneumatically accelerated by compressed air and projected by nozzles onto the component to roughen a smooth surface, shape a surface or remove surface contaminants. For the application of sand blasting process on a big component, which may require secondary surface treatment, which is carried out in a confined space, so many times we have to shift jobs to confined room. Due to this material handling cost increases. To avoid this, there is need of design of portable type of sand blasting machine.
