Zinc Cut Wire S280

Why Zinc Cut Wire S280 for Non-Ferrous Peening?

Standard steel shot and grit can leave ferrous residues that cause galvanic corrosion on aluminum and other soft metals. Zinc Cut Wire S280 eliminates this risk. Its cylindrical, cut-wire geometry provides a consistent, angular impact that effectively work-hardens surfaces, improves fatigue life, and creates a uniform matte finish without the aggressive material removal of harder abrasives. This media is dense enough to transfer energy efficiently but soft enough to preserve tight dimensional tolerances.

Key Performance Characteristics

The S280 designation indicates a specific size range, offering a balance between coverage rate and surface roughness (Ra) control. The cut wire manufacturing process ensures a high degree of particle uniformity, leading to predictable peening intensity and consistent Almen arc height results. This repeatability is essential for aerospace, automotive, and general engineering components where process control is mandatory.

Typical Process Compatibility

Zinc Cut Wire S280 is compatible with both suction and pressure-fed air blast systems, as well as centrifugal wheel blasting machines. It is suitable for use in standard blast cabinets, walk-in blast rooms, and automated peening lines. Proper media reclamation and dust collection are recommended to maximize the number of recycles and maintain a clean operating environment.
