Steel grits

                                      Steel grit

Steel grit is fabricated by crushing, screening the resulting abrasive media and tempering it to a desired hardness. These Steel Grits are specially used in every type of wheel machine and also for blast room where nozzles are employed in air blasting. Their sharp edges help in cleaning, etching and smoothening of the blasting surface easily.


Steel grit is made by crushing toughened shot after examination of abrasive media and tempering to achieve the desired hardness. It is utilized in rust elimination where speed of cleaning is high and rough finish is suitable. Steel grit is crushed steel shot. They are used for different application (shot blasting, ship building, pipe building, steel construction, granite cutting, tank manufacturing etc.).


These products adopt the raw materials which are carefully selected, and are added with the alloys with the appropriate proportion, and are transformed into steel grains or steel grits after electric furnace smelting process. After this high temperature process, these steel grains break into steel grit which is further classified into various categories of grit by automatic screen classification.     


Steel grit’s superior hardness and confined microstructure provides maximum durability or life and impact energy transfer. It provides a very fast stripping action for many types of surface cleaning from steels and other foundry metals. Softer than aluminum oxide, but still angular in shape, steel grit will not fracture as easily making it perfect for creating an etched surface on metal. Quickly strips contaminants from steel and foundry metals. Used in wheel blast and pressure blasting systems. Steel Grit effectively produces an etching on hard metal surfaces for better adhesion of coatings including paints, enamel and rubber.

Application of using steel grit:

Rail car reconditioning Removal of flashing Blasting bridges Metal parts and forging industry  Preparation of metal surfaces prior to subsequent coating Surface profiling prior to rubber bonding and lining Removal of sand from castings Descaling of bars
