Steel Shot is a fully heat-treated spherical product of hyper-eutectoid steel. It has a uniform structure of finely tempered martensite to provide optimum resilience and resistance to fatigue.The microstructure of steel shot is uniform martensite, tempered to a degree consistent with the hardness range, with fine, well distributed carbides, if any.
FUNCTION : Typical applications include: preparation of metal surfaces prior to subsequent coating, removal of sand from castings, descaling of steel strips, bars, pipes, shot peening, etc. Industry users include: foundries, automotive, aviation, blast/paint contractors, pipeline manufacturers, steel fabricators.
