Spherical Abrasive for Consistent Surface Treatment
Steel Shot S460 is produced to a high hardness specification, typically in the range of 40-51 HRC, which provides an optimal balance between cleaning speed and media longevity. The spherical particle shape ensures full surface coverage and a uniform profile, reducing the risk of embedding or surface contamination compared to angular grit. This makes it the preferred choice for shot peening operations where fatigue life improvement is critical, as well as for general blast cleaning of castings, forgings, and structural steel.
Users can expect high recyclability in well-maintained blast systems, contributing to lower media consumption and operational costs over time. The media is screened to specific size grades to match different surface finish requirements and blast nozzle or wheel configurations.
Key Selection Considerations
Selecting the correct operating mix and size grade is essential for achieving target surface profiles and peening intensity. S460 shot is compatible with most standard wheel blast machines, pressure blasters, and suction blasters. For optimal results, the blast system should be properly tuned, and the media should be kept clean and free from contaminants. Regular additions of new shot maintain the working mix and ensure consistent performance.

Applications
Common industrial uses for this abrasive.
Shot Peening
Induces compressive stress on metal parts to improve fatigue life and resistance to stress corrosion cracking. Ideal for springs, gears, and shafts.
Surface Cleaning
Removes scale, rust, sand, and paint from castings, forgings, and structural steel components prior to coating or further processing.
Descaling
Effectively removes heat treatment scale and mill scale from steel plates, bars, and wire rods in continuous or batch blast systems.
Surface Preparation
Creates a uniform anchor profile on metal surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion for paints, powder coatings, and thermal spray coatings.
