Steel Shots are spherical metallic abrasives widely used in surface treatment processes such as shot blasting, shot peening, and cleaning. These tiny but powerful components are made through a controlled steel casting process and come in various grades, each suited for specific industrial applications. Understanding the differences in steel shot grades can help industries achieve the desired surface finish efficiently and cost-effectively.
Grades of Steel Shots
Steel shots are categorized based on size and hardness. Common grades include S170, S230, S330, and S550, where the number denotes the particle size in microns.
- S170 is ideal for light cleaning and polishing.
- S230 balances cleaning efficiency and surface profile, suitable for automotive parts.
- S330 is used for structural steel and general-purpose applications.
- S550, a larger grade, is perfect for aggressive cleaning and heavy-duty descaling.
Each grade of steel shots delivers a different impact energy, making the selection critical for optimal results. These shots are widely used in steel casting foundries, automotive plants, shipyards, and construction industries for cleaning, deburring, and preparing metal surfaces for coating.
Benefits of Using Quality Steel Shots
- Consistent surface roughness
- Extended equipment life
- High recyclability
- Reduced dust and waste
