Aluminum die casting, for instance, is particularly popular for its lightweight nature combined with excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity. Zinc die casting, known for its superior finishing and high production rates, is frequently used for smaller components like housings and brackets. Magnesium, being the lightest structural metal, is ideal for applications requiring weight reduction, while copper alloys are chosen for their excellent electrical conductivity.

The mixture of air and abrasive particles is then directed through a nozzle. The design of the nozzle plays a critical role in determining the flow characteristics and speed of the abrasive jet; a converging-diverging nozzle is often employed to achieve supersonic speeds. Once the high-velocity jet exits the nozzle, it converges and travels towards the stationary workpiece.
