Steel Shot Works LLC

Steel shot are steel grains made of hypereutectoid alloyed steel by original technology, which allows producing shot with maximum sphericity and provides it with optimal operating properties. That is, the technology of STEEL SHOT WORKS allows receiving the steel shot with stable sieving and best abrasive properties along with high durability. Thus according to the report of independent German laboratory the durability of our steel shot since the end of the year 2008 exceeds the nominal durability 2900 (+/-50) passes by 10-20 % according to the method Ervin Test, which corresponds 100% to SAE J445 K . The KNOW-HOW technology provides our steel abrasives with excellent abrasive properties due to high rigidity (resilience) of steel shot, which transfers the impact energy on the surface treated, but not on the deformation of abrasive particles. Big consumers in the German automotive industry have tested our steel shot and compared it to the abrasive material of Wheelabrator Allevard (WA). Our product has the index of Almen Test 110, the material of WA has the index of 91, which in practice provides the excellent quality of surface cleanliness while using our steel shot at that the intensity of cleaning is proportionally increased by 20%, which results in the economy of electricity, labour costs, shot-blasting machine life, expensive dust-filters etc.The attention should be paid that this advantage in the abrasive properties is achieved with almost equal hardness levels: the hardness of our steel shot is 473 HV, while the hardness of the WA steel shot is 487 HV. In other words we get not hard, but very rigid steel shot, which operates selectively: it doesn’t damage the wearing parts of shot-blasting machine, but it cleans the surface perfectly. 

Steel grit are angular grains in the form of irregular polygon that are produced from hypereutectoid alloyed steel having applied original technology of steel shot crushing with following sieving. The technology permits to obtain the most qualitative sieving of steel grit, providing best abrasiveness features with sufficiently high limit of durability. Thus, according to the conclusion of independent laboratory, from the end of 2008 the durability of our material exceeds the nominal one of 2900 (+/-50) passes by 10-20% according to method Ervin Test, which 100% corresponds to the standard SAE J445 K. Due to KNOW-HOW technology our steel grit has exclusive abrasive properties due to high rigidity (resilience) of steel grit, which transfers the impact energy on the treated surface, but not on the deformation of granule. Big consumers in the German automotive industry have tested our steel grit and compared it to the material of Wheelabrator Allevard (WA). Our material has the index of Almen Test 100, while the material of WA – 91, which in practice gives excellent quality of cleaning. Please note, that this benefit in abrasiveness features is achieved at almost equal hardness: hardness of our material is 473 HV in comparison to WA – 487 HV. In other words, STEEL SHOT WORKS produces not hard, but very rigid granules, which operate selectively: they do not wear blast machine parts but clean surface perfectly.
