At Rotocast Group, we’re proud of our precision and knowledge in producing steel shots, which are essential to many industrial operations like shot blasting, shot peening, and surface preparation. Our process creates premium steel shots that satisfy the exacting standards of contemporary industries by fusing cutting-edge technology with painstaking craftsmanship.

Starting with carefully chosen raw materials, usually scrap steel or iron, the production process is initiated. To make sure these materials live up to our high standards, they go through a thorough inspection. After approval, they are melted down in furnaces to the correct purity and composition. The liquid metal is then uniformly distributed and flawless spheres are formed by quickly rotating the spherical molds into which the molten metal has been injected.

The steel balls that are left over after the molten metal solidifies go through a number of heat treatments to improve their mechanical qualities, like toughness and hardness. In order to obtain the correct microstructure, the steel shots must be heated to a specified temperature and then quickly cooled. This process is called quenching and tempering.

After passing all quality inspections, the steel shots receive a final surface treatment to remove any impurities and guarantee they match our stringent cleanliness standards. This surface treatment also helps to prevent oxidation and corrosion, extending the life of the steel shots and ensuring their effectiveness over time.

Rotocast is dedicated to providing steel shots of the greatest quality, reliability, and performance. Through our commitment to innovation and perfection, we continue to push the frontiers of steel shot manufacturing, giving our clients the tools they need to succeed in today’s competitive industrial environment.
