Steel Cut Wire Shot

Specifications

Steel Cut Wire Shot

1. Application:

Stainless steel cut-wire shot is being used in an increasing number of important applications where ferrous contamination in blasting stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, or other non ferrous work objects could be harmful.

It is also used in peening these metals (stainless steel, titanium, brass or aluminum) in work objects that are subject to stress corrosion cracking.

2. Hardness

Shot produced from type 302/304 stainless steel has a hardness in the 50– 60 Rockwell C range. This has proven to be an ideal hardness for most shot peening applications.

3. Standard

Our shot is certified to meet AMS-S-13165, SAE J441, and AMS 2431/4.

4. Appearance

Our shot is available in conditioned form (spherical) with certification to existing aircraft specifications for roundness, particle size, and weight. Conditioned cut-wire shot has a Rockwell C hardness of 50 to 60 HRC depending on size.

5. Advantage

Cut wire does not fracture or breakdown during use because it is solid.  As a result several positive things occur:

• Stainless cut wire shot has a significantly longer useful life than cast steel shot and grit
• Dust generation is significantly lower so blasting operations are much cleaner
• Stainless cut wire produces excellent results because of its uniformity and strength
• It will make you a "Greener" organization because disposal of spent media will be significantly reduced
• No ferrous contamination to non ferrous castings or work objects.
