Products used to remove oil contamination on steel shot or grit are? - ANSWER:
Diatomaceous earth and convent cleaning
What are the sources of oil contamination in steel shot or grit? - ANSWER: *Added to
steel shot and grit at mill to prevent rusting
*cutting oils and lubricants
What is an electrolyte? - ANSWER: It is the medium that conducts ionic current
Procedure to calibrate Fixed Probe Magnetic Flux gages is? - ANSWER: *Place probe
on blasted bare steel and adjust scale by turning knob to "0"
*Place desired shim on steel and ensure meter reads shim thickness
*Repeat until "0" setting and thickness reading are correct.
What considerations need to be considered for enclosures? - ANSWER: *Must be
large enough to perform the work
*Size is relevant to the dehumidification equipment capacity
*Sturdy
*Minimal leakage to maintain a required environmental conditions
What is Air turns (air changes)? - ANSWER: *eliminates air stratification or layering
*recirculates hot air trapped in higher spaces
*is the number of times completed per hour
What is galvanic corrosion? - ANSWER: *Electrochemical action
*two dissimilar metals, an electrolyte & electron conducive path when dissimilar
metals come in contact
What is the purpose of Cathodic Protection? - ANSWER: *Reduce or elimination of
corrosion
*a structure protected by cathode
*completed by impressed current or a galvanic anode (sacrificial)
What are the basic centrifugal Blast setups? - ANSWER: *Tumbling mill

*Fixed systems have a material handling system
*Abrasive recycling system
*Dust collector and vent pipe
*Abrasive
The efficiency of a centrifugal blast system depends on? - ANSWER: *Abrasive
operating mix
*Size of abrasive
*Velocity of abrasive coming off the wheel
*Quantity & direction of the thrown abrasive
*Condition of the feed parts
Low amperage reading on a centrifugal blast system could indicate? - ANSWER:
*abrasive starved wheel
*Flooded or choked wheel
Function of the separator in a centrifugal blast system? - ANSWER: *Control the
sizing of abrasive mix
*Remove sand, spent abrasive (fines), rust, dirt, and other contaminants
*Control abrasive consumption
Inspection concerns during centrifugal blasting include? - ANSWER: *Monitor dust
collector
*Monitor the amperage of the wheel motors /
Low amperage
*Monitor the handling and loading of the conveyor line for contaminates and
possible discontinuities in the steel
*Monitor the speed of the line
*Inspect the steel as it leaves the production line
What will a balanced operating mix (working mix) of Abrasive sizes benefit? -
ANSWER: *provide consistency of the finish
*Ensure uniform abrasive coverage
*Ensure conditioning of the abrasive for optimum cleaning
*Minimize lowest abrasive & machine part-wear
*Reduce downtime for maintenance
