Industries
all around the world use shot
blasting with steel abrasives to clean the surfaces of metal sheets (it is also
sometimes used on other non-metallic surfaces). The popularity of using stainless
steel shots in the industrial sector is due to three factors; it is
highly economical, it does not harm the environment extensively and you can
remove contaminants from the surface in a very short period. In this article,
we will discuss with you some of the important applications of cut wire shot in
the industry.
What
are the industrial applications of stainless steel shots?
1). Still,
shots are extensively usedto clean the surface of any metal sheet to clean any
loose materials, paint coatings, or rust. This type of cleaning is widely used
in those industries, wherein you have to clean large surfaces in a very short period
like shipping, automobiles et cetera.
2).
Steel grits are also widely used to cut through hard stones quickly, which is
not possible through traditional tools. In many stone quarries, large blocks of
granite stones are cut into thin slices with the help of multi-blade frames
fitted with steel grits.
3).
In many industries, metal surfaces need to be cleaned, smoothened or physically
modified by using the short blasting method. In such a process, steel shot
along with grit are used to clean the surfaces that are covered with dirt, rust
et cetera. Additionally, sometimes physical modification
of the surface is also necessary like creating roughness for better application
of paint and coatings. In such processes, shot blasters are not only economical
but also save a lot of time.
4).
Steel abrasives are used in shot peening. In this process, metal surfaces are
repeatedly struck with hard shot particles. This results in the formation or
changing the metal surface, thereby improving the durability of the metal
surface.
These
are just some of the important applications of steel abrasives in the
industrial processes. The easy availability of steel abrasive and its
economical nature make it very popular in small as well as large industries were
looking for an efficient and cheap method to clean metal surfaces.
