what is steel grit

Abrasives are tough, dense substance that polish substrate surfaces, removes burrs, and performs other finishing tasks. There are numerous varieties of abrasives with various grain sizes and hardnesses. When applied on the substrate, the two popular abrasives steel shot and steel grit can easily remove deposits, oils, and greases for surface preparation. To mechanically clean substrates, we employ large volume continuous flow equipment as well as alternative blasting steel shot and grit systems.

Low Carbon Steel Grit is distinguished by granules that have a mostly angular shape. These grains have fractured portions and sharp edges since they were produced by crushing steel grit.

The majority of wheel blasting applications produce a peened, dimpled surface using high carbon steel grit. Our steel grit has a strong resistance to impact fatigue, making it exceptionally long-lasting and capable of cleaning quickly and effectively.

Hardness is the resistance of the metal to plastic deformation – usually by indentation.  This term may also refer to a metal’s stiffness.  This term may also refer to a metal’s stiffness, and resistance to scratching, abrasion, or cutting.
