Steel Shot is manufactured by melting selected scrap in electric induction furnace. The chemical composition of molten metal is analyzed and strictly controlled by spectrometer to obtain SAE Standard specification. The molten metal is atomized and transformed into round particle and subsequently quenched and tempered in a heat treating process to obtain a product of uniform hardness and microstructure, screened by size according to SAE Standard specification.
This type of shot is made for use in shot blasting and blasting processes under pressure by compressed air. It is basically used on non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, zinc alloys, stainless steels, bronze, brass, copper...
With its wide range of gradings, it is used for cleaning, deburring, compaction, shot peening and general finishing processes, on all kinds of parts, without contaminating its surface by ferrous dusts which deteriorate and change the colour of the treated metals. It is ideal for the aging of marbles and granites.
Total quality controls are applied inspecting: grading, grain sphericity, composition and resistance.
