With its extensive UNESCO World Heritage sites and ongoing maritime operations at the Port of Leith, Scotland's capital presents unique surface preparation challenges. Maintaining historic ironwork alongside modern defense manufacturing at facilities like Leonardo requires specialized abrasive cleaning techniques to preserve structural integrity while preventing corrosion in the damp coastal climate.
Mill scale removal by shot blasting strips the hard, brittle oxide layer that forms on hot-rolled steel during manufacturing. Mill scale must be removed before protective coatings are applied — if left in place, it causes premature coating failure as it detaches from the underlying steel. Shot blasting is the most effective and efficient method of mill scale removal.
