The service life of steel shot is very long, because steel shot can be reused. At the same time, different types of steel shot have super long service life. The cost of use is very low and very affordable. It is especially used in shot blasting and casting treatment. It is very easy to use. But today I mainly introduce to you the problem of steel shot life.
I hope you can understand and like this article and realize the correct use of steel shot. Steel shot, as the name implies, is a pellet cut from steel wire. It is divided into stainless steel shot and ordinary high carbon steel shot and low carbon steel shot according to the different steel wires used. Generally speaking, the Owen life of steel shot is 3000-3500 times, which means that it can be recycled so many times. In fact, there is no scrap standard. It will slowly wear out and turn into dust during the cycle. It has a wide range of uses and can be used for almost any surface treatment of workpieces. Because of its long life, it is deeply loved by customers, has a good market, and is used in large quantities, especially in some shipyards.
Generally speaking, steel shot has a 15-30% longer life than cast steel shot, because steel shot has no pores and looseness. Steel shot is mostly used for precision parts, while stainless steel shot is mostly used for stainless steel parts and aluminum castings, because it will not contaminate castings after peening and is more wear-resistant. High-hardness steel shot is used to strengthen the blades, cylinders, and connecting rods of aircraft engines and diesel engines.
