Slurry/wet blasting uses a variety of abrasive media, depending on the material and desired finish. Common media include glass beads, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and ceramic beads, which are ideal for general surface cleaning, rust removal, and creating a smooth finish. Plastic media, walnut shell, and biocompatible media are often used for more delicate surfaces, while garnet and steel shot are preferred for tougher applications requiring more aggressive material removal. The choice of media depends on factors like surface type, material composition, and the level of finish required.t
