What are the steel shots if they are classified by material?

Carbon steel shots

High carbon steel shots: also called cast steel shots, with a carbon content of 0.8-1.2%, have high hardness and wear resistance, and are suitable for general abrasive cleaning, sandblasting, cutting and other fields.

Low carbon steel shots: The carbon content is below 0.2%. Compared with high carbon steel shots, its hardness is lower, but its toughness is better. It is suitable for scenes where carbon residue on the surface of the workpiece needs to be reduced.

Alloy steel shots

Made of alloy elements such as chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, it has high hardness, high wear resistance and good impact resistance, and is suitable for processing parts and molds with high strength and small size.

Specific types of alloy steel shots such as chromium-molybdenum alloy steel shots are expensive, but they have important applications in specific fields such as aerospace and military industry.

Stainless steel shots

Made of stainless steel materials, it has good corrosion resistance and long life, and is suitable for processing high-demand surface treatment, cleaning and other fields, such as aluminum alloys, zinc alloys, etc.

Surface shot blasting of non-ferrous metal castings

Other steel shot

Such as aluminum shot and copper shot, which are made of aluminum and pure copper respectively, have the characteristics of low density, low specific gravity, good conductivity, etc., and are suitable for surface treatment and cleaning of lightweight, thin-walled, fragile parts, as well as surface treatment of copper-based circuit boards in the electrical and electronic industries.
