Steel Grits

Product Details:

STEEL GRIT CHARACTERIZES GRAINS WITH A PREDOMINANTLY ANGULAR SHAPE. THESE GRAINS ARE OBTAINED BY CRUSHING STEEL SHOT, THEREFORE THEY EXHIBIT SHARP EDGES AND BROKEN SECTIONS. HARDER THAN STEEL SHOT, IT IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN DIFFERENT SIZES AND HARDNESSES. STEEL GRIT IS MOST FREQUENTLY USED IN A PROCESS CALLED ABRASIVE BLASTING, IN WHICH A SUBSTANCE IS PROJECTED AT HIGH VELOCITIES TOWARDS A BASE MATERIAL IN ORDER TO REMOVE MATERIAL FROM THE BASE MATERIAL OR TO PREPARE THE SURFACE FOR FURTHER WORK. THIS IS OFTEN DONE TO REMOVE ANY UNWANTED CONTAMINANTS OR OXIDE LAYERS PRIOR TO COATING A BASE MATERIAL TO IMPROVE THE COATINGS. STEEL GRIT IS AN ABRASIVE MATERIAL THAT IS USED TO ABRADE SURFACES IN A PROCESS KNOWN AS ABRASIVE BLASTING. STEEL GRIT IS JAGGED IN SHAPE, WHICH ALLOWS IT TO ABRADE MATERIALS EXTREMELY WELL. STEEL GRIT COMES IN MANY DIFFERENT CHEMICAL FORMS AND SIZES AND IS MADE BY CRUSHING STEEL SHOT. STEEL GRITS STEEL GRIT / CAST-STEEL, GRIT, IS A METALLIC BLAST- CLEANING ABRASIVE, THE MANU- FACTURE OF WHICH TAKES PLACE FOLLOWING THE MOST STRINGENT CRITERIA AND CONTROLS. USES STEEL GRIT /CAST-STEEL, GRIT, IS USED IN COMPRESSED- AIR PLANTS, AMONG OTHER THINGS FOR DESCALING, DERUSTING, DEBURRING AND ROUGHENING OF SURFACES PRIOR TO SUBSEQUENT COATING/PAINTING. SIZES STEEL GRIT / CAST-STEEL, GRIT, IS PRODUCED BY MECHANICAL CRUSHING OF STEEL SHOT PARTICLES OF DIFFERENT SIZE TO SHARP-EDGED PARTICLES WITH PRECISELY DEFINED PARTICLE SIZE:-

Product Details:

STEEL SHOT REFERS TO SPHERICAL GRAINS MADE OF MOLTEN STEEL THROUGH AN ATOMIZATION (GRANULATION) PROCESS, AVAILABLE IN DIFFERENT SIZES AND HARDNESSES. STEEL SHOT OR GRIT IS USUALLY AVAILABLE AT DIFFERENT HARDNESS LEVELS, RANGING BETWEEN 40 AND 65 ON THE ROCKWELL SCALE (400 TO 850 ON THE VICKERS HARDNESS SCALE). STEEL SHOT ARE USED IN SURFACE PREPARATION PROCESS FOR CLEANING METAL SURFACES WHICH ARE COVERED WITH MILL SCALE, DIRT, RUST, OR PAINT COATINGS AND FOR PHYSICALLY MODIFYING THE METAL SURFACE SUCH AS CREATING ROUGHNESS FOR BETTER APPLICATION OF PAINT AND COATING.
