Abrasive blasting is commonly known as sandblasting. It is the process of forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a surface under high pressure to smooth a rough surface or to roughen a smooth surface, the effect is similar to that of using sandpaper, this is the reason that more commonly its name is used as sandblasting. Moreover, it is also used to shape a surface or to clean the surface by removing surface contaminants. Sandblasting equipment usually consists of a chamber in which the sand and air are mixed. The mixture travels through a hand-held nozzle to direct the particles toward the surface or work piece.

A blast cabinet is basically a closed loop system that allows the operator to blast the part and recycle the abrasive. It typically consists of four components; the containment (cabinet), the abrasive blasting system, the abrasive recycling system and the dust collection. The nozzles come in variety of sizes, shapes and materials. But for harder abrasives like Aluminium oxide by NT Ruddock Company, only silicon carbide and boron carbide nozzel are often used due to its greater wear resistance.
