The sandblasting process is performed by projecting sharp-edged sand or another abrasive material onto the stainless steel surface using compressed air or another gas transported through a compressor. This process can clean the surface while also helping to smooth or matte it.

However, when subjecting stainless steel to sandblasting, it's essential to carefully select the right equipment, pressure, abrasive material, and process parameters. Incorrect parameters or poor execution can lead to damage or scratches on the surface. Additionally, after the process, stainless steel may need proper cleaning and treatment to preserve its stainless properties.

In conclusion, sandblasting stainless steel is possible, but it should be done professionally, and the suitability for the intended use of the material should be considered.
