Steel Shot

V Abrasive Cast Steel Shot is a hardened hypereutectoid steel shot. Its structure is tempered, fine-grained, and homogeneous martensite, providing optimal specific impact energy and fatigue resistance. This type of shot is used to achieve maximum mass and rebound effect for surface cleaning, as well as surface hardening (work hardening) when required.

WS – Cast Shot (Hardness 45–51 HRC)

WS is the most versatile in application, producing smoothed peaks (semi-spherical hollows) and surface roughness. When processed with WS cast shot, the surface profile is characterized by smoothed peaks, with minimal depth roughness (Rz) and a defined number of peaks per centimeter (Pc). Due to its high wear resistance, it offers maximum service life (see graph) and is effective for treating parts with hard-to-reach areas thanks to the ricochet effect.

Cast shot is used in shot-blasting equipment for the following processes:

• Cleaning molds from casting sand (steel and iron castings, copper and aluminum alloys);

• Lime and scale removal (after forging, stamping, or heat treatment);

• Surface hardening – strengthening (springs, shafts, rods; for this process, WS cast steel shots with special hardness 52–57 HRC or 57–61 HRC are available);

• Pre-coating cleaning and surface preparation.

In working mixtures, it primarily retains a spherical shape.

Advantages

Key Benefits:

• Reduced shot consumption due to increased wear resistance

• Extended lifespan of quickly wearing machine parts
