How to Choose the Right Steel Shot – Xinyuan Industrial

Steel shot is essential for cleaning workpieces, and choosing the right type directly affects cleaning efficiency. Proper selection is key to improving productivity. Keep these factors in mind:

1. Material type: Use aluminum or stainless steel shot for non-ferrous metals, while standard steel shot works best for steel parts, weldments, and castings.
2. Shot size: Larger shot provides faster cleaning but leaves a rougher surface finish.
3. Abrasive shape: Irregular shapes like steel grit or cut wire shot clean faster but result in a rougher surface than steel shot.
4. Hardness: Harder steel shot increases cleaning speed but shortens lifespan. For optimal performance, choose steel shot with a hardness of HRC 40-50, which balances speed and durability.
5. Rebound performance: Steel shot with moderate hardness and excellent rebound reaches every part of the blast chamber, ensuring efficient cleaning and reduced processing time.
