Reams (1939), in his book Modern Blast Cleaning and Ventilation, and Rosenberger (1939), in his book Impact Cleaning, probably delivered the first serious stateof- the-art reviews about the industrial fundamentals of blast cleaning. They were followed by Plaster (1972) with his two-volume compendium on ‘Blast Cleaning and Allied Processes’. In Germany, Horowitz’ (1982) book about Oberflächenbehandlung mittles Strahlmitteln (Surface Treatment with Blasting Media) became very popular and is still a widely used reference. Since then, 25 years of intense progress in both industrial applications and scientific research have passed. The aim of this book is to provide an extensive up-to-date engineering-based review about the fundamental principles of blast cleaning.
