Sandblasting is an extremely useful procedure in a broad array of applications and industries. Whether a material needs to be cleaned, deburred, prepped for powder-coating, de-rusted, shot-peened or otherwise just have its paint removed, sandblasting is the process for the job.
These devices are useful in the auto industry, in ship and rail yards and in a range of industrial applications. Certain degrees of skill and safety training are required to effectively operate a sandblaster, depending on your intended application.

The shapes available are described in many published standards worldwide, and a number of specialist and proprietary cross sections are also available.
A steel I-beam, in this case used to support timber joists in a house.
I-beam (I-shaped cross-section - in Britain these include Universal Beams (UB) and Universal Columns (UC); in Europe it includes the IPE, HE, HL, HD and other sections; in the US it includes Wide Flange (WF or W-Shape) and H sections)
Z-Shape (half a flange in opposite directions)
HSS-Shape (Hollow structural section also known as SHS (structural hollow section) and including square, rectangular, circular (pipe) and elliptical cross sections)
Angle (L-shaped cross-section)
Structural channel, or C-beam, or C cross-section
Tee (T-shaped cross-section)
Rail profile (asymmetrical I-beam)
Bar, a long piece with a rectangular cross section, but not so wide so as to be called a sheet.
Rod, a round or square section long compared to its width; see also rebar and dowel.
Plate, metal sheets thicker than 6 mm or 1⁄4 in.

While many sections are made by hot or cold rolling, others are made by welding together flat or bent plates (for example, the largest circular hollow sections are made from flat plate bent into a circle and seam-welded).[1]
The terms angle iron, channel iron, and sheet iron have been in common use since before wrought iron was replaced by steel for commercial purposes. They have lived on after the era of commercial wrought iron and are still sometimes heard today, informally, in reference to steel angle stock, channel stock, and sheet, despite that they are misnomers (compare "tin foil", still sometimes used informally for aluminum foil). In formal writing for metalworking contexts, accurate terms like angle stock, channel stock, and sheet are used.
There are several variants of the process, using various media; some are highly abrasive, whereas others are milder. The most abrasive are shot blasting (with metal shot) and sandblasting (with sand). Moderately abrasive variants include glass bead blasting (with glass beads) and media blasting with ground-up plastic stock or walnut shells and corncobs. A mild version is soda-blasting (with baking soda). In addition, there are alternatives that are barely abrasive or nonabrasive, such as ice blasting and dry-ice blasting.
