The blast material comprises 60-90% by weight of steel shot and 10-40% by weight of a coating powder which is an alloy comprising 2.5-50% by weight of iron, not more than 5% by weight of aluminum, copper, tin, magnesium and silicon or a combination thereof and the balance being zinc. The powder has a maximum particle size of about 0.4 mm and an average hardness of 140-450 Hv. The continuous mechanical process comprises continuously blasting the blast material onto a metal part, recycling the used blast material and magnetically separating abraded fine particles of the steel shot in the course of the recycling.
