Steel Shots S-460

Steel shot size S-460 refers to a specific grade of abrasive material commonly used in industrial processes such as shot blasting and peening. The “S” designation indicates that it is a spherical shot, while the number “460” corresponds to the approximate diameter of the individual steel particles in micrometers. In the case of S-460, the average diameter falls within the range of 0.4 to 0.6 millimeters. This particular size is chosen based on the desired surface finish and intensity of the treatment. S-460 steel shots are known for their durability, high impact energy, and effective removal of rust, scale, and contaminants from metal surfaces. The uniformity in size ensures consistent results, making S-460 a popular choice in applications where precision and reliability are paramount.
