Versatile Applications Across Industries

Steel grits are essential in a multitude of industries, from foundries and shipyards to metal fabrication and stone cutting. Their angular shape and consistent hardness make them ideal for abrasive blast cleaning, surface preparation before coating, and peening operations to enhance metal fatigue resistance. The range of particle sizes and grades ensures suitability for both delicate cleaning and aggressive material removal.

Engineered for Safety and Longevity

Produced from high-purity alloy steel with a tempered martensite microstructure, these grits provide sustained performance and durability. Their purity (98%) and low free silica content significantly reduce hazardous dust, making them safer for operators. With an unlimited shelf life when stored correctly, they remain ready for use over extended periods without degradation.

Flexible Supply and Customization

We offer steel grits in assorted packing options, including 25 kg, 50 kg, and 1000 kg HDPE bags, drums, and jumbo bulk packaging. Whether your requirement demands standardized or custom sizes, our supply chain ensures prompt and reliable delivery across India. Each batch adheres to stringent SAE J444 and IS 4606 standards, guaranteeing consistent quality batch after batch.

FAQs of Steel Grits:

Q: How can steel grits be reused in industrial processes?

A: Steel grits are highly recyclable due to their hardness and toughness. Depending on the specific application and level of contamination, they can be used multiple times, which reduces operational costs and environmental impact. Proper cleaning and classification between cycles are recommended to maintain performance.

Q: What are the primary benefits of using steel grits for surface preparation?

A: Steel grits efficiently remove rust, scale, old coatings, and contaminants from metal surfaces due to their angular shape and high hardness. This creates a uniformly roughened profile, improving the adhesion of paints or coatings and extending the lifespan of treated surfaces.

Q: When should steel grits be used instead of other abrasive materials?

A: Steel grits are preferred for tasks requiring aggressive cleaning or surface profiling, such as in shot blasting, peening operations, or preparing metal for further processing. Their moderate corrosion resistance is ideal for dry and controlled environments but may not be suitable for highly corrosive conditions.

Q: Where are steel grits typically applied within industry?

A: Steel grits find extensive use in foundries, shipyards, steel fabrication plants, and stone cutting facilities. They are also widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and construction sectors for tasks such as cleaning, profiling, and preparation of surfaces before painting or coating.

Q: What is the recommended process for storing steel grits to ensure their unlimited shelf life?

A: To maintain their quality, steel grits should be stored in dry, clean conditions, using the provided HDPE bags, drums, or jumbo bags. Avoid exposure to moisture or contaminants, as these can lead to clumping or reduced performance over time.

Q: How does the low free silica content benefit users of steel grits?

A: The low free silica content minimizes the production of hazardous dust during blasting operations, reducing health risks such as silicosis for operators. This makes steel grits a safer choice for workplaces with stringent health and safety standards.
