Alloy steel shot is made by cutting steel wire into pellets,which are divided into stainless steel,ordinary high carbon steel,and low-carbon steel shot according to the different types of steel wire.This article discusses the characteristics of alloy steel shot,let's take a look together!
Generally speaking,the lifespan of alloy steel shot is 3000~3500 times,which means it can be recycled so many times.In fact,there is no scrap standard.During the cycling 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 its long lifespan,it is highly favored by customers and has a good market with large usage,especially in some shipbuilding,mold,casting,steel and other industries.
Generally speaking,it has a lifespan 15-30%longer than cast steel shot because alloy steel shot has no pores or looseness,and its microstructure uniformity is also good.Alloy steel shot is mostly used for high-precision parts,such as stainless steel parts and aluminum castings,because it does not contaminate the castings after shot blasting and is more wear-resistant.And the reinforcement of blades,cylinders,and connecting rods used in aviation engines and diesel engines with high hardness.
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.
When alloy steel shot is 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.
