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 stainless 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.
Steel Grit and Steel Shot for Blasting
The two most popular types of metallic abrasives are steel shot and steel grit. The steel shot has a spherical shape and will leave the substrate surface with a smooth texture. Steel grit will etch and degrade the substrate surface because of its randomly angular nature. Each of these abrasives comes in a range of hardness and size options that work with diverse substrates. They are both powerful abrasives that can quickly penetrate and remove baked-on or caked-on surface debris.
Shot Blasting with Steel Grit & Steel Shot
In a shot blasting machine, to increase the strength and durability of a substrate on rough surfaces, shot blasting is a form of peening process. Steel shot and grit blasting systems use mechanical or centrifugal force to propel abrasive material to mechanically remove grease, carbon deposits, scale, oils, and oxides from metal part surfaces. Shot and grit blasting is the most effective method for preparing the surface of large or challenging items because of its aggression.
In large-scale operations like auto manufacturing and recycling facilities, this method can be used safely on all sorts of metals, including aluminum and white metal components. Dense materials, it has strong abrasive properties and eliminates surface dirt quickly.
The completed surface produced by the abrasive medium is extremely smooth and spotless and is ready for remanufacturing painting, or coating operations. The substrate surface will be clear of debris, providing a fantastic bonding surface for the coating or paint. As a result, it will last for a long period. There can be some ferrous residue on the substrate after the blasting operation.
Our steel shot and grit blasting systems are built to automatically process batches of items put onto the barrel work machine. All surfaces are exposed to the cleaning abrasive slurry since the barrel mill rotates the components around. The entire procedure is automatically managed by a programmable logic controller (PLC).
