How to identify steel shot and its characteristics

　　Characteristics of steel shot:

　　Average particle size distribution, moderate hardness, strong toughness, and impact resistance;

　　Good wear resistance, long service life, and continuous repeated use;

　　The rebound of steel shot is particularly good, the adhesion ability is strong, and the cleaning speed is very fast;

　　The brightness of the workpiece after cleaning is large, and the effect is very obvious;

　　Improve the cleaning quality and reduce production costs;

　　1. Appearance identification of steel shot: The color of standard steel shot is dark gray with a certain brightness, which gives people the feeling that it is gray but not dim. This kind of steel shot makes people look more "mature". If it is not this feeling, then the quality of steel shot is worse.

　　2. Identification of steel shot hardness: The hardness of steel shot determines the service life of steel shot. The hardness of steel shot is proportional to the cleaning speed. The higher the hardness, the faster the cleaning speed, the greater the consumption of steel shot, and the shorter the life. The manufacturing process of steel shot determines the size of steel shot. The larger the diameter, the higher the surface roughness after cleaning, but the work efficiency is also very high, and the wear is also greater relative to steel shot.

　　3. Shot fatigue life: The fatigue life is the ability of the shot (sand) to resist breaking when it acts on the working surface. The abrasive with the longest fatigue life will become the most economical abrasive if it can convert appropriate energy into cleaning. Regardless of the application field, the quality of the shot and grit is the key to effective operation. It determines whether the energy can be effectively converted during use, plays a role in cleaning and strengthening, and also determines the level of your processing costs.
