Types and characteristics of steel shot abrasives: suitable for processing different materials

　　Steel shot abrasive is a commonly used grinding material widely used in metal processing, casting, steel structure manufacturing, shipbuilding and other industrial fields. There are many types of steel shot abrasives, each with different characteristics and suitable for processing different materials. The following will introduce several common steel shot abrasives and their characteristics.

　　1. Steel shot abrasives

　　Steel shot abrasives are spherical abrasives made of carbon steel or stainless steel. They are usually used for cleaning, grinding and strengthening of metal surfaces. This kind of abrasive has high hardness and wear resistance, and can produce high-energy impact in high-speed rotating abrasive jet equipment, effectively remove oxide scale, welding slag and dirt on the metal surface, and improve the smoothness and roughness of the workpiece surface. .

　　2. Cast steel shot abrasives

　　Cast steel shot abrasives are spherical abrasives made of high-quality alloy steel materials through melting, casting and surface treatment. They have smooth surfaces, high hardness and good wear resistance. Cast steel shot abrasives are commonly used in processes such as sand blasting, strengthening, deburring and descaling of metal surfaces. Due to its uniform particle size and good projectile properties, it can effectively improve the roughness and corrosion resistance of metal surfaces.

　　3. Stainless steel shot abrasive

　　Stainless steel shot abrasives are spherical abrasives made of stainless steel and have excellent corrosion resistance and projectile properties. Stainless steel shot abrasives are often used for sandblasting and polishing workpieces with special surface requirements such as stainless steel, aluminum alloys, and copper. Because it does not leave rust spots or oxides on the surface of the workpiece, it is widely used in food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical and other industries.

　　4. Aluminum shot abrasive

　　Aluminum shot abrasives are spherical abrasives made of aluminum alloy materials. They have the characteristics of light weight, low hardness, good thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. Aluminum shot abrasives are often used for sandblasting, surface treatment and deburring of lightweight metal materials such as castings and aluminum alloy parts to improve their surface finish and roughness.

　　The above types of steel shot abrasives have their own characteristics and advantages, and are suitable for processing different materials. Selecting suitable steel shot abrasives can increase processing efficiency, improve the surface quality of the workpiece, reduce energy consumption and losses, and comply with environmental protection requirements. In practical applications, it is necessary to select according to the material, shape and processing requirements of the workpiece, combined with the characteristics of the steel shot abrasive, to achieve the best processing effect.
