Wet blasting applications for weapons and ordnance…
Wet blasting cleans weapons and ordnance by removing dirt, carbon buildup, and corrosion, enhancing surface smoothness, preventing wear, ensuring proper coating adhesion, and maintaining reliability, accuracy, and longevity in demanding conditions.
• Firearms - Removing fouling, corrosion, and old coatings from barrels, receivers, and slides. Flushing through the barrels of small-bore guns. Creating a better surface for plating and a subsequent longer plating life. Cleaning and creating an ideal surface for spot repairs. While more of a non-military requirement, wet blasting can prepare surfaces for cosmetic finishes too.
• Machine Gun Parts - Cleaning high-usage components to prevent malfunctions.
• Shell Casings - Restoring spent brass or steel casings for recycling or re-manufacturing.
• Missile Casings - Cleaning and preparing for re-painting or decommissioning.
• Bomb Casings - Cleaning and finishing for storage or refurbishment.
• Grenade Bodies - Removing surface contamination and preparation for coating.
