Low carbon Steel Shot from Kholee Blast is produced from high quality of low-carbon scrap, which is well selected and also has little harmful elements such as phosphorus and sulphur. In the production process, scrap is melted in induction furnaces, cooled in water after atomization and finally form Bainite microstructure, which has an optimum combination of hardness and toughness and is efficient, resistant and durable in operation. Low carbon steel shots are obtained in the form of cracks-free grains.
Low carbon steel abrasive is exceptionally long-lasting and extremely durable because it is virtually crack-free. Due to the microstructure and material properties achieved directly after granulation, the granules do not need to be subjected to subsequent heat treatment.
Low carbon steel shot has a lower hardness than high carbon steel shot. Because of its microstructure it resist impact well until the moment it suddenly scatters and turns into dust. It is often used for flash descaling. Since low carbon steel shot is softer it not possible to crush it into grit, which is therefore not available.
Kholee Blast low carbon steel shot, with its long service life, shows excellent performance in rust, oxide and sand removal processes, deburring, surface preparation and shot peening operations. Product is appropriate for use in foundries, steel mills, forging and rolling mills, machinery manufacturing, the steel industry, automotive, ship, aircraft and structural steel.

◆ FAQ

What surface treatment applications are suitable for low-carbon steel shot?
Low-carbon steel shot is widely used for cleaning, deburring, and shot peening of metal surfaces. It is commonly used on castings, forgings, steel, and aluminum alloys to remove rust, oxides, and stains, improving surface adhesion and corrosion resistance.

  How to improve the efficiency of low-carbon steel shot?
The key to improving efficiency is to regularly clean the steel shot, ensuring it is free of damage, contaminants, and excessive abrasive particles. Simultaneously, optimizing the sandblasting machine settings, such as properly controlling air pressure and blasting time, ensures the steel shot achieves optimal results in surface treatment.

  How is low-carbon steel shot recycled and reused?
Low-carbon steel shot can be cleaned and recycled using an abrasive recovery system. Ensuring the recovery system operates smoothly and regularly cleaning impurities from the system prevents abrasive contamination. After screening and cleaning, the recycled steel shot can be reused, reducing abrasive waste and operating costs.
