The effects of a newly developed nozzle type, with divergent flow, and abrasive particle size on the surface preparation properties of steel substrate using abrasive water-jet treatment (AWT) were analyzed. The corrosion and chloride removal efficiencies were evaluated by applying this technique to parts of severely corroded steel structures. The evaluation of the surface characteristics of the treated specimens included analysis of the treatment area, maximum erosion depth, surface roughness profile, and residual abrasive material quantity. The corrosion removal efficiency was assessed using surface salinity measurements and SEM-EDX analysis. The experimental results demonstrated that the application of the developed divergent nozzle and smaller abrasive particle sizes in the AWT process resulted in an expanded treatment range and effective prevention of excessive erosion depth and surface roughness. Additionally, ultra-high-pressure water with abrasives completely eliminated corrosion products and chlorides present on both the surface and interiors of the corroded steel surface, achieving a cleanliness level exceeding Sa 3. This process prevented the formation of flash rust on the cleaned surface for up to 24 h and prolonged the time before the reoccurrence of corrosion on the treated surface. To summarize, the AWT with a divergent nozzle and smaller abrasive particles creates the most ideal surface preparation characteristics for subsequent coating and provides higher surface cleanliness suitable for practical engineering applications.
