Mild Steel Shot S170

Gentle Impact Cleaning with S170 Steel Shot

The S170 designation refers to a specific size classification within the steel shot family, delivering a controlled, softer impact compared to higher-carbon or larger-sized alternatives. This makes it particularly suitable for cleaning softer metals, thin-walled components, and precision parts where dimensional tolerance must be preserved. The spherical particle shape ensures uniform coverage and consistent surface profile generation, reducing the risk of sharp-edge embedding that can occur with angular grit media.

Performance Characteristics and Selection

Selecting the correct abrasive size is critical for achieving the desired surface finish while maintaining process efficiency. S170 shot provides a balance between cleaning speed and surface roughness control. Its lower hardness relative to fully hardened cast steel shot makes it an effective choice for blending, deburring, and cosmetic finishing operations. Typical applications include preparation for painting or coating on non-ferrous alloys, aluminum castings, and fabricated sheet metal assemblies.

Packaging and Supply Chain Flexibility

SPA2Z understands that abrasive consumption rates vary significantly across different blasting setups. To support both trial evaluations and continuous production, we offer flexible packaging options:

• 25 kg bag: Convenient for manual handling and small blast cabinets.
• 50 kg bag: Standard industrial pack for medium-volume users.
• 1 ton jumbo bag: Optimized for bulk storage and automatic media replenishment systems.
• Drum pack: Secure, stackable option for export and long-term storage.

All packaging is robust and designed to protect media integrity during transit and storage, preventing moisture ingress and contamination.
