Steel Shot (Steel Shot) is a kind of spherical particles made of special materials through special heat treatment. First, high-quality steel blocks are melted, and then high-pressure water is used.
Jetting makes molten steel into particles, and the formed pellets are reheated to purify and homogenize, and then quenched. The quenched pellets are dried and reheated and tempered in the furnace to achieve the appropriate hardness. The tempered steel pellets are sorted by mechanical screens into different grades of products that meet the SAE standard for use in shot peening equipment.
The excellent heat treatment control process gives steel shots the best elasticity and fatigue resistance. Steel shots of different grain sizes and hardness are suitable for different processes, such as shot peening of large quantities and heavy parts or materials.
Steel shots are widely used for descaling and rust removal of steel workpieces before coating. In this case, centrifugal shot blasting equipment is often used. The spherical shape and small hardness prevent the steel shot from causing large wear on the equipment.
Steel shots are also widely used for sand removal of castings.
