Many people will question the use of steel shot. What is its specific use? Today, the editor will help you summarize the classification of steel shot according to different hardness and its use in the construction industry, so as to fully understand steel shot. In this way Only then can we easily use good steel shots in reasonable places.
Steel shot is an ideal abrasive product. In the sand cleaning treatment of many castings, steel shot is used with good cleaning effect. Steel shot is also widely used in descaling and rust removal before coating in the steel industry.
There are many classifications of steel shots. According to the different hardness of the steel shots produced, steel shots can be divided into cast steel shots, cast iron shots, glass shots, etc. Steel shots with different hardnesses have different uses.
The hardness of cast steel shot is generally HRC40-50. When processing some harder metals, the hardness can be increased to HRC57-62. They have good toughness, their service life is several times that of cast iron shots, and they have a wide range of applications.
The hardness of cast iron shot is HRC58-65. This type of steel shot has high hardness, is very brittle when refrigerated, is easily broken, has a short lifespan, and is not widely used. Mainly used in places requiring high shot peening intensity.
The hardness of glass shot is lower than the previous two types, and it is mainly used in stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, magnesium and other situations where iron contamination is not allowed. It can also be used for the second treatment after steel shot blasting to remove iron contamination and reduce the roughness of the surface of parts.
