Steel Shot / Grit


Steel Grit 

Steel Grit is produced by crushing heat-treated steel shot into angular shapes. The performance of Steel Grit depends on its hardness, which can be modified by heat treatment and is reflected in different grades offered. Steel Grit is commonly used for cleaning surfaces prior to coating.

Steel Shot is exceptionally durable due to its low friability. The process of blasting actually further tempers and increases the shot’s hardness over time, allowing it to deliver consistent, repeatable performance over thousands of cycles. Steel Shot is used for heavy scouring and to produce very bright finishes.
