Sandblasting Explained
Although sandblasting is often used as an umbrella term for all abrasive blasting methods, it differs from shot blasting where the abrasive media is propelled by a spinning wheel. The sandblasting process was first patented by General Benjamin Chew Tilghman in the 1870s after observing the abrasive effects of sand on windows in the desert.
