How to identify the quality of steel shot from the surface? How should one choose a product? Its performance is one of the factors that affect our usability. So when we choose a product, we must pay attention to its product quality and learn to distinguish the quality of the steel shot. So what should be done specifically? Let's take a brief look next.
Steel shot is used in shot blasting and shot blasting processes, so there are some quality issues during use, which requires us to make a requirement. The identification of its performance and quality is usually carried out through visual inspection, hardness inspection, and fatigue life inspection.
1. Density identification
Based on density, we can first calculate the density of a regular entity, and then measure its mass and volume for density comparison. If it is smaller than a solid steel shot, it is hollow. Otherwise, this is a high-quality product that reduces our judgment workload.
2. Appearance identification
The standard color of steel shot is dark gray with a certain brightness, giving the impression of gray but not dim. This product makes people feel 'old' at first glance. If it weren't for this feeling, then its quality would be even worse.
3. Hardness identification
Its hardness determines its service life, and hardness is directly proportional to cleaning speed. The higher the hardness, the faster the cleaning speed, the greater the consumption, and the shorter the service life. Its manufacturing process determines different sizes. The larger the diameter, the higher the surface roughness after cleaning, but the higher the work efficiency, and in comparison, the greater the wear. Choosing the appropriate steel shot for the corresponding vehicle model is crucial.
4. Wear and tear lifespan
Fatigue life is the ability to resist compression when working on the surface of steel balls, and products with fatigue life are undoubtedly economical metal abrasives. Regardless of the application field, its quality is the key to effective operation, determining whether energy can be effectively converted during use, playing a role in cleaning and strengthening, and also determining the level of processing costs.

Generally speaking, the quality of steel shot can be identified through the above methods. In order for everyone to understand and judge its performance and quality, and to find more suitable products in the future, we need to choose the right products, which is also for our better use.
