What is alloy steel shot
Alloy steel shot is made by cutting steel wire into pellets, which are divided into stainless alloy steel shot, ordinary high carbon alloy steel shot, and low-carbon alloy steel shot according to the different types of steel wire. Generally speaking, its lifespan is 3000 to 3500 times, which means it can be recycled so many times. There is no specific scrap standard, and during the recycling process, it will gradually wear down and turn into dust.
It has a wide range of applications and can be used for surface treatment of almost any workpiece. Due to the long lifespan of alloy steel balls, they are highly favored by customers and have a good market with large quantities, especially in some shipbuilding, mold, casting, steel plant and other industries. Generally speaking, alloy steel shot has a lifespan 15-30% longer than cast steel shot because it has no pores or looseness, and has a better uniformity of structure. It is mostly used for finer parts. Stainless alloy steel shot is mostly used for stainless steel parts and aluminum castings because it does not contaminate the castings after shot blasting and is more wear-resistant.
High hardness alloy steel balls are used to strengthen blades, cylinders, and connecting rods in aviation and diesel engines. Due to its bright appearance and rust resistance, it is widely used in the surface spraying and polishing treatment of high hardness workpieces such as automotive springs, suspension springs, quenched gears, screws, chains, various stamped parts, standard parts, and stainless steel. It has the functions of surface peeling and surface strengthening treatment for processed workpieces.
Alloy steel shot is widely used in the casting industry and in the pre-treatment of steel plates. It is widely used in the casting industry to remove the sand on the surface of the workpiece after it is taken out of the mold. When used with suitable equipment, it is definitely a good abrasive for surface cleaning due to its durability. The manufacturing process of alloy steel shot is to first melt high-quality steel blocks, and then use high-pressure water injection to form fine particles in the molten steel. The formed shot body is reheated to purify uniformly, and then quenched. The quenched pellets are dried and reheated in the furnace to achieve the appropriate hardness, and the tempered alloy steel pellets are divided into different grades and products through mechanical screening.
Alloy steel balls with different particle sizes and hardness are used in different processes. The above is today's content. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
