Steel grit is an abrasive widely used in the industrial field. It has the characteristics of high density, high hardness and uniform particle size. These characteristics of steel grit will be analyzed below.
density:
The density of steel sand is generally between 7.2~7.8g/cm³, which is about 3 times that of ordinary sand. This is because steel grit is mainly composed of iron, chromium, nickel and other metal elements, and its density is much higher than that of general abrasive materials. Therefore, steel grit has higher quality and can provide greater impact and higher shear force during surface treatment, making the surface treatment effect more ideal.
hardness:
The hardness of steel grit is generally between 40 and 65HRC. Steel grit with different hardness can be selected for surface treatment according to needs. Compared with other abrasive materials, the hardness of steel grit is much higher, which can remove surface impurities, oxide scale and other undesirable substances more quickly and efficiently during surface treatment. The hardness of steel grit also determines its durability, with a longer service life than other materials.
granularity:
The particle size of steel sand is uniform, generally 0.2~3mm. Different particle sizes can be selected according to needs to meet the requirements of surface treatment. The particle size of steel grit has an important impact on the surface treatment effect. Particles that are too large may scratch the surface, while particles that are too small cannot effectively remove surface dirt. Therefore, the particle size of steel grit must be selected within an appropriate range to achieve the best surface treatment effect.
Overall, steel grit is an excellent abrasive material, and its high density, high hardness, and uniform particle size allow it to perform surface treatment more efficiently. However, steel grit also has certain problems during use, such as noise pollution, easy rusting, etc., which require reasonable handling and maintenance during use.
