The one‐step precision blasting method of glass bead cleaning, peening and corrosion removal involves impelling micron size spherical glass particles at controlled velocities against a work‐piece. The impact of the glass beads on the surface of the object pulverises and removes all forms of oxidation, corrosion and other foreign matter, including pit corrosion and corrosion in recessed and hidden areas around and under items such as rivets, The removal of all foreign matter down to the base metal is accomplished far more rapidly, hence far more economically, than currently utilised methods. There is no removal of base metal, no dimensional change and no contamination. Peening is achieved in a similar manner, as will be described later.
