Zinc Cut Wire S660

Why Zinc Cut Wire for Soft Metal Peening?

Ferrous abrasives like steel shot or grit can leave behind microscopic iron particles that become embedded in soft metal surfaces. Over time, these particles oxidize, causing pitting corrosion and compromising the integrity of the component. Zinc Cut Wire S660 eliminates this risk entirely. Because the media itself is zinc-based, any trace residue left on the workpiece is galvanically compatible with aluminum, magnesium, and zinc substrates, preventing dissimilar metal corrosion.

The cylindrical shape of cut wire shot produces a rounded, peened surface rather than the sharp angular profile of crushed grit. This action imparts beneficial compressive stress, increasing fatigue resistance and stress corrosion cracking resistance in critical parts like aircraft landing gear components, engine casings, and high-performance automotive wheels.

Performance Characteristics and Process Compatibility

Zinc Cut Wire S660 exhibits a bulk density and hardness profile that suits both suction-fed and direct-pressure blast systems, as well as centrifugal wheel-blast machines. Its high recyclability—often 2,000 to 3,000 cycles depending on blast pressure and target material—makes it a cost-effective choice for high-volume production environments. The media provides a satin-matte finish ideal for pre-paint, pre-plating, or pre-anodizing preparation, ensuring excellent coating adhesion without dimensional change to the part.

Common process parameters include air pressures between 2.5 and 5.0 bar for air-blast systems, with nozzle standoff distances adjusted to achieve the required intensity on Almen test strips. The media is also suitable for wet-blast applications where dust suppression is required.

Packaging, Handling, and Supply

SPA2Z offers flexible packaging to match your operational scale. Standard options include 25 kg heavy-duty bags for manual loading, 50 kg bags for medium-volume users, 1-ton jumbo bags for bulk hopper systems, and drum packs for controlled dispensing. All packaging is moisture-resistant to prevent agglomeration and ensure free-flowing media upon delivery.

We maintain ready stock of standard grades and can arrange express dispatch for urgent requirements. For specialized particle size distributions, custom cutting parameters can be discussed with our technical team.
