  2. Sandblasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandblasting

    Sandblasting, sometimes known as abrasive blasting, is the operation of forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a surface under high pressure to smooth a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface, shape a surface or remove surface contaminants. A pressurised fluid, typically compressed air, or a centrifugal wheel is used to ...

  3. Vacuum blasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_blasting

    Vacuum blasting. Example of tool used for vacuum blasting of pipes. Vacuum blasting is an abrasive blasting method, [1] also referred to as dustless blasting or closed loop abrasive blasting. [2] The method is characterized by a blast tool that does abrasive blasting and collects both used blast media, and loosened particles from the surface to ...

  4. Drilling and blasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_and_blasting

    Drilling and blasting. Drilling and blasting is the controlled use of explosives and other methods, such as gas pressure blasting pyrotechnics, to break rock for excavation. It is practiced most often in mining, quarrying and civil engineering such as dam, tunnel or road construction. The result of rock blasting is often known as a rock cut.

  5. Physical vapor deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_vapor_deposition

    PVD process flow diagram. Physical vapor deposition (PVD), sometimes called physical vapor transport (PVT), describes a variety of vacuum deposition methods which can be used to produce thin films and coatings on substrates including metals, ceramics, glass, and polymers. PVD is characterized by a process in which the material transitions from ...

  6. Blasting machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasting_machine

    Blasting machine. Two blasting machines. At rear is one where the trigger works by depressing or raising the handle; at fore, one where the handle is twisted. A blasting machine or shot exploder (commonly called a plunger[citation needed]) is a portable source of electric current to reliably fire a blasting cap to trigger a main explosive charge.

  7. Vacuum engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_engineering

    Vacuum engineering. Vacuum engineering is the field of engineering that deals with the practical use of vacuum in industrial and scientific applications. Vacuum may improve the productivity and performance of processes otherwise carried out at normal air pressure, or may make possible processes that could not be done in the presence of air.

  8. Road surface marking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_surface_marking

    Blasting: There are many materials that can be used for blasting on the road surface to remove markers. These include water, sand, crushed glass, dry ice and soda. High-pressure water blasting method uses 30,000 psi (210 MPa) water jet system on a truck equipped with vacuum heads to blast out the markings and suction up the water and debris ...

  9. Detonator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detonator

    A detonator is a device used to make an explosive or explosive device explode. [1] Detonators come in a variety of types, depending on how they are initiated (chemically, mechanically, or electrically) and details of their inner working, which often involve several stages. Types of detonators include non-electric and electric.
