A method for quickly removing a thermal spray coating, the sandblasting material adopts alloy sand with a particle size of 0.5-5.0mm, special-shaped alloy sand with an aspect ratio of 1.0-5.0 and ceramic sand with a mesh of 10-50, the alloy sand, special-shaped The mass ratio of the three raw materials of alloy sand and ceramic sand is (1~4):(1~4):1; before sandblasting, first pour the three raw materials into the iron bucket at the same time to facilitate the mixing of raw materials , and then pour the mixed sand in the iron bucket into the sand tank for sandblasting, the blasting air source pressure is 0.5‑0.9MPa; the present invention optimizes the composition of sand grains, increases the air source pressure, and greatly shortens the old coating Removal time, compared with single ceramic sandblasting to remove old coatings, the time is reduced by 60-75%, while reducing production costs, realizing the economical and efficient removal of old coatings, suitable for various metals, alloys, and cermet coatings layer removal.
