A number of abrasives are used specifically for metal parts that are softer or more delicate than others. Naturally, these delicate metal parts need an abrasive that is both effective and designed to be less intensive in order to maintain the integrity of the metal itself.
That’s why Nu-Shot Steel Shot is among the most popular abrasives in such cases. Continue reading to find a Nu-Shot Steel Shot definition, as well as information on Nu-Shot Steel Shot benefits and how it compares to other abrasives. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Finishing Systems to learn more.
Nu-Soft Steel Shot is a metallurgically enhanced cast steel shot that was developed for cleaning soft, delicate metal parts in standard centrifugal wheelblast type machines or in pressure style blast cabinets.
Nu-Soft is spherical in shape with a hardness of between 12 and 15 Rockwell C (less than 200 HV). Ultra-low in carbon its density is slightly greater than 7g/cc. Nu-Soft is very durable with more than twice the life of standard SAE grades of cast steel shot and almost one thousand times the life of some competing abrasive media.
Nu-Soft is made from virgin, premium grade cast steel shot – no other materials are added during the manufacturing process. Only fully round shot particles are found in a batch of Nu-Soft Steel Shot. Once in the manufacturing furnace the chemistry of the shot is closely modified for peak performance. The Nu-Soft Steel Shot particles are used in tandem with pressure-type air cabinets or wheel-type blast machines to achieve the perfectly clean surface that soft and delicate metal parts need during the manufacturing or re-manufacturing process.
