You may have heard about the abrasive blasting method that uses VDFI 8001 cut wire shot and other such hard abrasives. However, you will be surprised to know that in many industrial applications where abrasive blasting is used, instead of using hard abrasives like the stainless steel shots , softer glass is being used. Glass beads offer a cost-effective and highly practical solution for those cleaning processes that need silica sand which is considered a health hazard. In this blog, we will like to explain the usefulness of glass beads in the blasting process. The perfect abrasive for softer surfaces The glass beads are mainly used as a cleaning agents wherein, the size of the bead ensures different outcomes. These beads are generally used on softer surfaces as they are not able to damage the surfaces on which they are projected at high speed (which a steel abrasive can). Environment friendly and cost-effective Glass beads are generally used in place of sand or silica becaus...
Cut Wire Shot is an abrasive media used for shot blasting and shot peening processes. It is available in ferrous metals like Steel, Copper and Non-ferrous metal alloys such as Stainless Steel, Copper, Zinc, Aluminum and Brass. Cut Wire Shot to be used depends upon its use, application process and nature of material to be shot blasted or peened. We are proud to claim ourselves as one of the first manufacturers of Cut Wire Shot in India.
