Steel Shots By Apex Abrasive Industries

Steel ShotsSteel shots are spherical grains made of molten steel through an atomization (granulation) process; these cast steel shots are available in different sizes & hardness. Steel shots are manufactured from steel scrap. Our Steel Shot is exceptionally durable due to its low friability, the impact of blasting actually further tempers the shot so that its hardness increases over time, allowing the media to deliver consistent, repeatable performance over thousands of cycles. As produced, our Steel Shot has a hardness of 40-50HRC (390-510 H.V). And thanks to its extremely low breakdown rate, virtually no dust is produced. All material is screened to meet or exceed IS, SAE & SFS SPECIFICATIONS.
