Steel shot is spherical metallic abrasive media produced by the molten steel by means of atomizing process. Metalworking Industries are the main users of Steel Shots such as ferrous and non-ferrous foundries, steel mills, forge shops and the metal fabricators, sand removal and to improve the metal surface preparation etc. since its process is not harmful, hence steel shot produces the least level of dust. Blast cleaning with steel abrasive media is an important operation at various stages of metal production. There are various assortments and sizes of the steel shot which gives additional common outcomes on the metal surface. It delivers the most affordable grating media which has reusing limit of in excess of 30 times because of its robustness and high durability.
Steel grit is random and angular. Steel shot will give a smoother surface than steel grit. Steel grit, given its shape, will carve or dissolve the surface. Steel shot will provide a smoother surface than steel grit. Steel grit, given its’ shape, given its shape, will draw or disintegrate the surface.
Applications of Steel Shot & Grits
- Removal of surface contaminants, giving a complete clean surface that helps in inspection for process defects.
- Surface preparation: Provides a surface profile (etch, smoothen, matte finish) preparatory to further processing like coating, painting, etc.
- Cleaning of metal, glass, wooden, etc. surfaces.
- Descaling
- Deburring
