Did you know that leading aerospace manufacturers around the world are turning to wet blasting for its unmatched precision, efficiency, and versatility?

Unlike dry blasting, wet blasting delivers superior surface preparation while reducing processing time.

Take our Leopard Cub automatic wet blasting machine for example. It has slashed NDT inspection time from 3 hours to just 20 minutes for a major jet engine manufacturer. See it in action on our Aerospace OEM page, link below.

From precision surface finishing to defect detection, wet blasting excels in a wide range of applications:

- Wet shot peening: Achieves the same intensity as dry shot peening on fan blades, turbine blades, and engine casings whilst producing a superior finish

- Surface prep for bonding and coating: Produces an Ideal surface finish for composite fan blade, propeller blade, and helicopter blade coating and bonding

- NDT crack detection prep: Allows for faster and more efficient inspections by optimising surface conditions

- Coating preparation: Prepares aerospace component surfaces for advanced coatings like CVD and PVD

- Additive manufactured components: Removes powder from complex channels and enhances surface quality for 3D-printed aerospace components

- Cast and forged aerospace components: Removes casting resist, burrs, heat scale, oxidation, and more

- Components destined for space: Helps ensure components withstand the rigors of space exploration

When precision matters, wet blasting delivers results no other finishing technology can match.
