Aluminum Oxide Blasting (ALOX)
Often specified for removing stubborn mineral deposits on steam turbines, this finely graded abrasive is also effective in other applications because of its ability to leave a surface profiled (Mohs 9).Often use White Aluminum Oxide and Brown Aluminum Oxide.
Using ceramic sand ceramic shot blasting aviation shot blasting to sandblast turbine parts is also a good choice.
