Superior Surface Preparation SolutionsSteel shots are an essential abrasive for industries requiring optimal surface cleaning and preparation. Their high roundness and tempered martensite structure ensure effective removal of rust, scale, and old coatings, making them highly suitable for shot blasting applications. With very low impurity content and uniform microstructure, these steel shots deliver superior results across various surfaces while extending equipment life.
Precision Manufacturing & Quality StandardsOur steel shots are produced under stringent quality control, adhering to international standards such as IS 4606 and SAE J827. The use of high carbon steel and advanced tempering processes creates spheres that are consistent in size, shape, and density. This uniformity leads to reliable abrasive action and minimal breakdown during use, making them ideal for industrial requirements.
Versatile Packaging and SizesTo cater to diverse client needs, we offer steel shots in a range of sizes from 0.2 mm to 2.5 mm, packed securely in HDPE bags of 25 Kg or 50 Kg. Customized packaging options are also available. Whether you require bulk quantities for large-scale operations or smaller batches for specialty applications, we provide flexible supply solutions globally.
FAQs of Steel Shots:
Q: How are steel shots typically used in surface preparation and cleaning?
A: Steel shots are employed in shot blasting machines to clean, descale, and prepare surfaces such as metal structures, automotive parts, and pipelines. Their spherical shape and high hardness give them the ability to efficiently remove rust, scaling, paint, and other contaminants, achieving the ideal surface profile for subsequent coating or painting processes.
Q: What are the main benefits of using high carbon steel shots with a density of 7.4 g/cm?
A: The high density and tempered martensitic structure of these steel shots enhance abrasive efficiency while ensuring low breakdown rates. As a result, they offer longer operational life, consistent performance, and cost-effectiveness in industrial surface preparation, reducing both downtime and overall process costs.
Q: Which industries commonly use these steel shots, and where can they be applied?
A: Industries such as automotive, shipbuilding, construction, foundries, and metal fabrication commonly utilize steel shots for cleaning and preparing metal surfaces. They are suitable for applications like removing scale from steel, surface texturing, and preparing rebar or components before painting or coating.
Q: What packaging options are available for steel shots, and why are HDPE bags used?
A: Steel shots are supplied in robust HDPE bags of 25 Kg or 50 Kg as standard, with custom packaging available on request. HDPE bags ensure product integrity by protecting against moisture and contamination during storage and transportation, maintaining the quality of the abrasive material.
Q: How is quality ensured in steel shots manufacturing, and which standards are followed?
A: Quality is ensured through precise control of chemical composition, grain structure, and manufacturing processes, resulting in homogeneous, spherical steel shots with very low impurities. The product is manufactured to meet IS 4606 and SAE J827 standards, guaranteeing reliability and industry compliance.
Q: What makes tempered martensite grain structure advantageous in steel shots?
A: A tempered martensite grain structure imparts high hardness and toughness to the steel shots, enabling effective impact without significant degradation. This results in consistent abrasive action, minimal dust generation, and extended life cycle during repeated use.
