Steel Shot blasting is the most widely used process for cleaning, stripping and improving a metal surface. The grade or size of will determine the ultimate finish achieved on the surface of the metal. The round ball shape of the steel shot produces a clean, smooth and polished surface through a peening action created by the acceleration of the product. In a peening application, Steel Shot is also used to impart compressive strength to torque or load bearing metal parts such as crankshafts, engine turbine blades and heavy-duty springs.
Benefits
- Extreme Durability
- Very High Recyclability
- Spherical in Shape
- Magnetic
- Used in Both Wheel Blasting and Pneumatic (Air) Blasting
- Multiple Hardnesses Available
- Very Low Dusting
Applications
- Shot Peening
- Surface Preparation
- Polishing
- Cleaning
Steel Grit Blast Media for Aggressive Cleaning
Steel Grit blast media is ideal for aggressive cleaning applications. Steel Grit will quickly strip many types of surface contaminants from steel and other foundry metals. Steel Grit is softer than Aluminum Oxide Grit and does not fracture as easily. The angular nature of Steel Grit produces an etched surface on metal for superior adhesion of paint, epoxy, enamel, rubber, and other coatings.
Benefits
- Extreme Durability
- Fast Cutting
- Very High Recyclability
- Magnetic
- Used in Both Wheel Blasting and Pneumatic (Air) Blasting
Applications
- Blast Cleaning
- Surface Preparation
- Descaling
- Surface Etching
- Hard Stone Cutting
