About Low Carbon Steel Shot

Low Carbon Steel Shot

Bestowed by vast industry experience, we are able to offer a wide range of Low Carbon Steel Shot to our widespread clients. Procured from eminent vendors of the market, our huge range of steel shots finds huge usage in blasting machines and various other sheet blast applications. The Low Carbon Steel Shot offered by us is well appreciated in the market for its remarkable features such as excellent toughness, durability and high cleaning performance.

Specifications:

Ferrosad:

Low carbon steel shot gives a longer life and is more durable than high carbon shot because it is relatively crack free. With high carbon material, the shotting operation produces surface cracks which are extended in subsequent heat treatment. This does not occur in low carbon shot because of its different structure.

Micro-structures:

The low carbon shot is produced by melting only deep-drawing low carbon scrap. As a result of this, the micro-structure after the atomizing process is a bainite structure (isothermal transformation), which is tough and durable. The high carbon shot is produced by using all kinds of scraps. Therefore, the shot particles after atomizing into water are very hard with surface cracks. The shot has to be heat treated by quenching and tempering to remove the very coarse martensitic structure. During this process the surface cracks can be extended.

Durability:

As low carbon shot has a bainite structure and does not have cracks, the consumption has been reduced by more than 20 % in trials by our customers factories compared with high carbon shot.
