Effect of Organic Powders on Surface Quality in Abrasive Blasting Process

Abrasive blasting, sometimes known as sandblasting, is a method used to change the surface condition of materials, clean surfaces, and prepare surfaces for applications such paint, bonding, coating, etc. The abrasive materials in blasting are applied with compressed air or water vary according purpose application. have negative effects on environment human health. So far, organic been limited blasting. However, these high potential usage since they environmentally friendly, safe health, non-toxic sustainable properties. In this study, usability three different wastes (walnut shell, olive pomace mussel shell) recovered by recycling was investigated. addition, effect distance (5, 10 15 mm), time (10, 20 30 s), powder type (mussel walnut grain size (38, 45 63 µm) roughness investigated using Taguchi L9 experimental design. Regression models were built ANOVA (Analysis Variance). Moreover, after examined an Al2O3 compared other samples. As result, 5 mm, s, shell µm test sets recommended “larger better” it determined that had greatest 50.19%. On hand, “smaller better”, 39.02%. While there increase values before first set experiments, material polishing rather than abrasion second experiments.
