Steel shot seems simple, but it is a widely used consumable in industrial production, because steel cannot avoid rusting, and burrs cannot be avoided in the casting process. For large-scale steel structure projects such as shipbuilding and building bridges, due to the long construction time, in order to prevent the steel from rusting during the process, a steel plate (or profile) pretreatment line has appeared. Pre-applied with shop primer. The main consumables for shot blasting and rust removal in the steel pre-treatment are also steel shot. The main methods of steel derusting are shot blasting and shot peening. Shot blasting is to use the rotating impeller to throw the steel shot to the workpiece to form a high-speed impact to remove rust. Shot peening is to spray the steel shot to the workpiece through compressed air to remove rust. Either way, the main body of action is steel shot, so in industrial production, the demand and consumption of steel shot are huge.
In the production of steel shot, some other metal elements will be added to increase the physical properties of the steel shot, resulting in alloy steel shot, of which carbon is one of the most important elements. The carbon content of the steel shot determines the hardness of the steel shot. and quality. The life of alloy steel shot is longer than that of other steel shot. It can be recycled 3000~3500 times. During use, it does not wear as fast as other steel shot, but it will slowly wear and become dust during the cycle.
