STEEL SHOTS

                                  STEEL SHOTS

Steel shots are spherical or round particles like circular ball made of molten steel through an atomization process; these cast steel shots are available in different sizes & hardness. Steel shots are made from steel scrap. It is made in an electric furnace. First the steel scrap is melted in the furnace then it is being atomized / converted into the shot by water jet. Steel Shot are durable in nature – due to its low friability, the impact of blasting actually further tempers the shot so that its hardness increases over time, allowing the media to deliver consistent, repeatable performance over thousands of cycles. It is extremely low breakdown rate; even no dust is produced in the manufacturing process. Delivering high-impact energy and fast cleaning rates, Steel Shot are used to produce very bright finishing. The grade or size of steel shot helps in determining the finishing achieved on the surface of the metal.  Steel shot with small size will result in a smoother and more polished surface. Steel shot with large size will clean more aggressively but produce a rougher surface. Both pneumatic machines and wheel blast machine can be used to accelerate the steel shot onto the blasting surface. Due to the hardness and density it can be recycled 3000 times before replacement. I n manufacturing of steel shots a minimal amount of dust is created in the blasting process. Cast steel shots are essentially used to clean metal surfaces and parts like: desanding and cleaning foundry castings, descaling metal sheets, surface preparation before coating.  Application of steel shots are automotive, aerospace, agriculture, construction, foundry, mining, shipyard, stone cutting, office machines, petrochemical, and other major industries.
