Steel shot is abrasive media which has various industrial applications and uses like shot blasting.
Steel shots prepared by molten high quality stainless steel and held into a round shape structure through the process called atomization or granulation.
Manufacturing of steel shot
- Steel or steel scrap is the raw material of steel shot. Firstly this steel scrap moulted through high temperature, then cooled down in water tanks in round shapes. This process is known as atomization.
- The separation of steel shot is based upon their sizes.
- Steel shot is available in various sizes and hardness, the use of different sizes depends upon the requirement of the job piece.
- The hardness level of steel shot is between 45 to 60 on the rockwell scale.
Uses of steel shot
There are a wide range of steel shot uses like surface finishing, abrasive media blasting, wheel blasting, shot blasting, removal of rust & cleaning of paint and much more. Now-a-day the demand for steel shot increases because it is available easily at competitive prices. In the case of removing the rigid impurities from the surface of metal for that steel shot is the only superior choice.
Steel shot has a wide range of industrial uses and applications such as finishing surfaces on different metal and wood. It removes unwanted particles such as rust and scale without harming the surface.
Benefit of using steel shots
- Steel shots prove themselves in proper finishing and smooth surface of metal.
- The key advantage of using steel shot is that it reduces the maintenance cost of the machine.
- Steel shot has a long life due to its highly durable nature.
- It is lighter than other metal shots, and can be used in any industry for blasting activities.
- Steel shot can be used multiple times that makes it cost effective abrasive.
Let's known about sizes of steel shots and there specifications:-
