Steel Shot

Shot is ideal for the deburring, and peening of stampings and fabrications. Its characteristics are perfect for removing corrosion from the surfaces of machinery and equipment. Cast steel shot is commonly used in the deflashing of aluminum die castings; and can eliminate release agent build-up on molds.

Also available in custom pre-blended Work Mixes of any size and ratio.
Packaging : 2000# drums – 50# Bags – Super Sacks

Steel Shot is Available in a Variety of Hardness Ranges

(S) Standard 40-48 HRC — Safe for use in Centrifugal wheel machines – excellent choice for surface preparation.
(M) Medium 47-56 HRC — More aggressive than standard: suitable in air blast & wheel blast applications.
(L) Hard 54-61 HRC — Provides a proper balance of cleaning, speed, & durability
(H) X-Hard 60 + HRC — Most aggressive media, Full hard for fast cleaning & heavy scale removal & stone cutting-no rounding

Steel Shot Blasting Media

A steel shot abrasive consists of small, spherical pellet-type projectiles that are often made from carbon steel. Steel shot is widely used in various sheet peening and polishing applications and typically provides a smoother, more polished surface than many other types of blasting media. Another key steel shot blasting media benefit is its very high recyclability – because it can be over and over again, steel shot helps to minimize blasting media costs. Additionally, steel shot abrasive material produces a low amount of dust during the blasting process, which results in a more environmentally friendly worksite and reduces the amount of time spent on post-blasting cleanup.

We Feature Steel Shot Blasting Media From Metaltec

Finishing Systems is proud to offer steel shot abrasives from Metaltec Steel Abrasive Co. Headquartered in Canton, MI, Metaltec features a state-of-the-art melting operation that is light years ahead of what competing companies have to offer. Metaltec steel shot and other abrasive media are used widely in operations ranging from automotive manufacturing and shipbuilding to drum reconditioning and farm implementation manufacturing.

Our Metaltec line of Cast Steel Shot from is manufactured to SAE J2175 specification and is available in sizes ranging from S-780 through S-70.

Steel Shot Abrasive Featuring a Revolutionary Bainite Microstructure

Our Metaltec line of cast steel shot has a unique bainite microstructure. It’s lower carbon and higher manganese chemical composition results in a product characterized by its longer wear life.

Metaltec’s shot meets SAE hardness specifications as-cast and does not require the additional tempering found with the Martensitic proces – in fact, Metaltec is the only U.S. manufacturer that can produce bainite abrasives that comply with SAE requirements. By omitting this tempering process, Metaltec’s steel shot will be free of micro cracks and will wear at a controlled rate while maintaining its overall shape and uniformity….giving it SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE.
