The service life of steel shot is very long, because steel shot can be reused, and different types of steel shot have a very long service life. The cost of use is very low, and it is very affordable, especially when using shot blasting and processing castings , very useful.
Let me introduce to you the issue of steel shot consumption and realize the correct use of steel shot.
As the name suggests, steel shot is shot diluted with steel wire (steel wire cut shot). When used, it is divided into stainless steel shot, ordinary high carbon steel shot and low carbon steel shot according to the different steel wire used.
Generally speaking, the life span of steel shot is 3000-3500 times, which means that it can be recycled that many times. In fact, there is no scrap standard. During the recycling process, it will slowly wear away and become. It is very versatile and can be used for surface treatment of almost any workpiece.
Due to its relatively long usage, it is deeply loved by customers. The market is very good and the usage is also large, especially for some shipyard companies.
Generally speaking, the service life of steel shot is 15-30% longer than that of cast steel shot, because steel shot has no pores and looseness.
steel shot is mostly used for precision parts. Stainless steel shot is mostly used for stainless steel parts and aluminum castings because it will not change after shot peening. It pollutes castings and is more wear-resistant. High-hardness steel shot strengthens blades, particles, and connecting rods used in aerospace engines and diesel engines.
