Steel Cut Wire Shot
Short Description:
Steel Cut Wire Shots (also called pellets) is used for cleaning, deburring, descaling, fettling, shot peening on components of iron & steel. Depending upon the application, various hardness ranges are available. Usually higher the hardness, lower the durability. Surface cleaned by wire cut shots is exceptionally bright and smooth. It is whole-bodied shot with no scales or oxides present; it creates no dust and leave the surface clean and bright than other abrasives. Technical Data Shee...

As Cut
Due to its sharp edge, it works good only for cleaning where speed of cleaning is critical and somewhat rough finish is acceptable. But not advisable to use for peeing operation which can cause dent as they damage the fatigue life.
Conditioned
As-Cut Shots when rounded off through a conditioning process. Conditioned carbon steel cut wire shot is a precision tool. It is made from carbon steel wire of selected diameter and tensile strength by means of special cutting machines and a following conditioning by means of special shot blasting machines. It is used more in the shot peening process; also in different industries such as automotive industry, aerospace industry, shipping industry, etc.
