This is a study of worn out impeller blades from an industrial  shot blast machine.  They’re cast from incredibly hard and abrasion resistant material.  As hard as they are, though, the blades do wear out, resulting in some of the patterns captured here.

For almost fifteen years, I performed maintenance work on the F/V Oceanic, a 41′ research and teaching boat owned and operated by the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, CT.
