High carbon Steel Shot is used in the majority of the wheel blast applications and creates a dimpled, peened surface. Only the shot’s skin suffers from the impact and very thin flakes will progressively part from the shot, which itself stays round throughout its life cycle. Our steel shot is very durable with high resistance to impact fatigue, giving it an effective and quick cleaning rate.
Our high carbon steel shot is used in various applications like; de-sanding, descaling, cleaning, shot peening etc.. The centrifugal atomization process and double heat treatment at the plants, as well as continues quality control measures, ensures the shot to be of the highest quality.
