Types of Steel Grit / Steel Shot

 

Steel Grit

Steel Grit

Steel grits are abrasive particles made from crushed steel media with angular shapes. It's made by crushing steel shot, and its sharp edges create a rough surface profile ideal for improving coating adhesion.
They are used in various industrial applications for surface preparation, cleaning, and finishing.

Steel Shot

Steel Shot

Steel shot refers to small, spherical pellets made from high-quality steel used as an abrasive material in various industrial applications. These pellets are primarily employed in surface preparation, cleaning, and finishing processes, often removing coatings, rust, and contaminants from metal surfaces. Steel shot is known for its durability and reusability, making it a versatile and widely used abrasive material.

Staineless Steel Grit

Staineless Steel Grit

Stainless steel grit is a high quality stainless steel abrasive which does not produce a rust and ferrous contamination on the surface by embedded blasted grains. It is characterised by the extreme durability and much lower friability than mineral abrasives such as: brown fused alumina, glass granulates and others. Stainless steel grit is unique because of its very low dust emission.

Features of Steel Grit / Steel Shot

 

Can replace a variety of mineral sand and non-metallic abrasives, such as corundum, silicon carbide, quartz sand, glass beads, etc.

Low dust emission, improve the working environment, green environmental protection.

Can replace some pickling process.

Low dust emission, good working environment, reduce pickling waste treatment.

Low overall cost, service life is 30- 100 times that of non- metallic abrasives such as corundum.

Sandblasting system: pressure sandblasting system, airless sandblasting equipment can be used.

 

Steel Shot

 

Steel Grit / Steel Shot: The Blast Cleaning Process

The Blast cleaning with cast steel shot and grit can be described as an impact cleaning process in which the surface of work piece is subjected to successive bombardment by a high speed blown stream of milled abrasive particles in cast steel effective size. The effect of this blast stream impacting upon the work is twofold:

 

  • The contamination is broken, powdered and removed, which exposes virgin, clean metal surface.

 

  • At the same time, the impact force of the individual steel particles gives the surface of the clean work piece a finishing profile whose appearance and texture is determined by the user's choice of steal abrasive size, hardness and the shape.

 

Applications of Steel Grit / Steel Shot
 

Steel Grit
Steel grit is mainly used for sandblasting, rust removal, oxide removal and surface roughening. Due to its strong cutting ability, it is suitable for workpieces that require high surface roughness.
Steel grit is commonly used for surface treatment of shipbuilding, bridges, steel structures, pipelines and large mechanical equipment.

 

Steel Shot
Steel shot is primarily used for shot peening and surface peening. Shot peening effectively removes oxidized skin, rust and old coatings through the impact of the steel shot, while also increasing the fatigue life of the metal surface.
Steel shot is suitable for workpieces that require high surface finish, such as automotive parts, aerospace equipment and precision machinery.

 

Staineless Steel Grit
Stainless steel grit is primarily used as an abrasive blasting media for surface preparation and cleaning, especially when ferrous contamination must be avoided. It's durable, efficient, and provides a consistent surface profile, making it suitable for various industries like aerospace, automotive, and metallurgy.

FAQ

Q: Steel Grit / Steel Shot: What are the main applications of these abrasives?

A: Steel grit is often used in shipbuilding, railcar manufacturing, and steel bridge construction to remove heavy scale, rust, and old coatings. Steel shot is commonly used in auto body works, foundries, and fabrication shops for polishing and surface smoothing. Stainless steel grit is used in applications where corrosion - resistance is crucial, such as in the food processing, pharmaceutical, and marine industries.

Q: How are steel grit, steel shot, and stainless steel grit manufactured?

A: Steel shot is produced by melting scrap steel and other raw materials, then atomizing the molten metal into small droplets that solidify into spherical shapes. Steel grit is made by crushing hardened steel shot. Stainless steel grit is manufactured in a similar way to steel grit, but using stainless steel as the raw material.

Q: What is the difference in shape between steel grit and steel shot?

A: Steel grit has an angular shape with sharp edges, while steel shot is spherical with a smooth surface.

Q: How does the hardness of steel grit and steel shot compare?

A: The hardness of steel shot typically ranges between 40 to 50 Rockwell C, while steel grit can have a hardness from 50 to 65 Rockwell C. Stainless steel grit generally has a similar hardness range to steel grit, but it can vary depending on the specific alloy and heat treatment.

Q: Steel Grit / Steel Shot: Do they have different densities?

A: Steel grit, steel shot, and stainless steel grit all have relatively high densities due to their steel composition. However, the density of stainless steel grit may be slightly different from that of regular steel grit and steel shot because of the different alloying elements in stainless steel.

Q: Which one is more expensive, steel grit or steel shot?

A: Generally, steel grit is more expensive per unit than steel shot. This is because the production process of steel grit involves additional crushing and screening steps, which increase the production cost.

Q: Steel Grit / Steel Shot: Which one has a longer service life?

A: Steel grit, with its higher hardness, tends to last longer and can be recycled more times than steel shot. Stainless steel grit also has a relatively long service life, especially in corrosive environments, due to its corrosion - resistant properties.

Q: Steel Grit / Steel Shot: What safety precautions should be taken when using these abrasives?

A: Operators should wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, respirators, and protective clothing, to prevent eye injuries, inhalation of dust, and skin abrasions. The blasting equipment should also be well - maintained to prevent malfunctions and accidents.
