Wet blasting applications for naval components…

Navy Ship

Wet blasting cleans naval components by removing salt, corrosion, and debris, preventing further damage, enhancing surface integrity, ensuring effective coating adhesion, and improving durability to withstand harsh marine environments and extend service life.

Applications include:

• Propellers and shafts: Removing marine growth, rust, and saltwater corrosion for optimal performance

• Hull fittings: Cleaning rudders, keels, and other underwater components for inspection or maintenance

• Internal piping and valves: Descaling and cleaning for efficient fluid transfer and system functionality

• Naval gun barrels: Cleaning and resurfacing naval guns to maintain accuracy and prevent wear

• Missile launch tubes: Preparing launch systems for operation by removing scale and residues

• Winches and anchors: Cleaning for maintenance and re-coating

• Hydraulic systems: Cleaning cylinders and components to maintain proper operation
