Application of high carbon steel grit

High carbon steel shot is used in most wheel blasting applications and creates a dimpled peened surface. Only the skin of the lens is impacted, and very thin flakes gradually separate from the lens, while the lens itself remains circular throughout its lifetime. Our steel shot is extremely durable and has a high resistance to impact fatigue, allowing for effective and fast cleaning.
Our high carbon steel shot is used in various applications such as; desanding, descaling, cleaning, shot blasting etc. The centrifugal atomization process and double heat treatment, as well as continuous quality control measures, ensure the highest quality of shot peening.
High carbon steel grit
High carbon steel grit produces etched or angled surface profiles ideal for cleaning, descaling, etching and grit removal applications. Our high-quality steel grit has a long service life and can be used in wheel blast machines and shot blast chambers.
High carbon steel grit GP has a minimum hardness in the range of 42 to 52 HRC and is also revered as corner shot because the grit becomes rounded during its service life. Primarily used in shot blasting machines, it works well in the foundry industry as it cleans faster with little increase in maintenance costs and wear on machine parts. GP for cleaning, descaling and desanding.
High carbon steel Grit GL has a medium hardness in the range of 53 to 60 HRC. It is used in wheel shot blasting machines and shot blasting chambers, especially for heavy descaling and surface preparation requirements. GL, although moderately hard, also loses its angular shape during blasting.
High carbon steel grit GH. Maximum hardness ranges from 60 to 64 HRC. It holds angles in the operating composition and is therefore ideal for surface etching requirements. GH is often used in blast booths for quick cleaning and to obtain anchor profiles before painting.
Production
• Using centrifugal process instead of high water jet to atomize molten steel into more spherical and uniform particles.
• The second heat quenching makes the abrasive have a more uniform chemical structure and internal structure, thereby reducing the brittleness of the abrasive.
• Air quenching instead of water quenching increases abrasive durability by reducing microcracks.
