Steel Shots Description

Microstructure steel shots alloyed with Chromium — Microstructure of steel shots alloyed with Chromium

The steel shots distributed by GritSablare are a superior high quality product in respect to other similar products, considering three factors:
1. Chromium Alloyed. The steel shots are manufactured from alloyed scrap steel of superior hardness (martensite & troostite steels), enriched with Chromium alloy to achieve a very particular microstructure that does not crumble on impact and repeated shocks. The addition of Chromium increases the cohesion of the material and extend the product's life – in the figure, we present the microstructure of the Chromium alloyed steel shots, an intensified microstructure compared with the regular steel shots;
2. A complex manufacturing process. The manufacturing process includes multiple operations that provide a product with superior hardness as a result of the many different phases of atomizing, heat treating, selecting, rounding, quenching, tempering and screening;
3. Quality control in four stages, which includes: microscope examination, Erwin test machine, hardness tests and direct-read spectrograph [see more details below].

Quality Control Steel Shots

I. Microscope examination

Our inspectors use the microscope to verify the microstructure of our products. Microstructure influences the anti-fatigue property of the steel shots. An optimum microstructure results in a higher resistance to impact and a longer life duration.

II. Erwin Test Machine (USA)

Erwin testing machine is used to verify the fatigue strength of abrasives. Fatigue resistance is the abrasive ability to resist at the impact and further transmit adequate energy for cleaning and shot peening surfaces.

III. Hardness test

This test checks the hardness of the abrasives. By having a certain hardness, the material creates a kinetic energy that has a major impact on the working efficiency and, also on the abrasive consumption.

IV. Direct-Read Spectrograph

This machine is used to determine the chemical structure of the abrasive. The chemical structure is the index of elements which constitutes the abrasive, with direct impact on the microstructure. Further, this machine helps to make fast changes on the liquid material that shapes the abrasive to meet the quality standards.

Due to its superior toughness and high density, this material can be reused up to 3000 times in different blasting operations, before replacement. Also, this material produces low amounts of dust.
This material is used for preparing surfaces, cleaning forging and casting, brightening finishes, shot peening metallic parts to increase fatigue strength and reducing wear. The round shape of the shots increases the toughness of the blasted surface, by an action of shot peening. The prepared surface is etched, smooth and bright for further anti-corrosive treatments.
The smaller shots produce an etched surface, bright and smooth while the larger shots will agresively clean the surface making a rough finish.
