Why Steel Shot S170 is a Core Industrial Abrasive
Steel Shot S170 occupies a critical middle ground in the abrasive spectrum. It is aggressive enough to remove heavy contaminants like heat treat scale and rust, yet fine enough to produce a controlled surface profile suitable for coating adhesion. Its spherical shape resists fracture, leading to a long operational life and lower media consumption compared to angular grits. This durability makes it a cost-effective solution for high-volume blasting operations.
Key Performance Characteristics
The performance of S170 shot is defined by its chemistry, hardness, and microstructure. High-carbon steel, properly heat-treated, provides the toughness needed to withstand thousands of impact cycles. The consistent sizing ensures uniform coverage across the workpiece, preventing shadowing or uneven cleaning. For peening applications, this consistency is vital for achieving specified Almen intensity and uniform compressive stress layers, which enhance the fatigue life of critical parts like gears, springs, and shafts.
Selecting the Right Pack Size for Your Operation
SPA2Z offers flexible packaging to suit different consumption rates and handling equipment. Choose from 25 kg bags for manual loading or small blast cabinets, 50 kg bags for standard industrial use, or 1-ton jumbo bags and bulk totes for large-scale, automated blast rooms. Drum packs are also available for specific handling requirements. We work with you to determine the most efficient packaging and logistics setup for your facility.
