Zinc Cut Wire S70

Zinc Cut Wire S70 for Soft Metal Peening

Zinc Cut Wire S70 is manufactured by cutting zinc wire into precise, uniform cylinders. The S70 designation refers to a specific size classification within the cut wire shot standard, indicating a nominal diameter of approximately 0.7 mm. This size offers a balance between coverage rate and impact intensity, making it versatile for a range of soft metal peening tasks.

The primary function of this abrasive is to impart compressive stress on the surface of a component, thereby increasing its resistance to fatigue cracking, stress corrosion, and intergranular attack. Unlike angular abrasives that cut and remove material, the rounded edges of conditioned cut wire peen the surface, creating a dimpled texture without significant stock removal.

Key Process Compatibility

• Wheel Blast Systems: Suitable for centrifugal wheel blast machines where high-velocity impact and high coverage rates are required for batch processing of components.
• Air Blast Systems: Can be used in suction or pressure-fed air blast cabinets for manual or automated peening of delicate parts, offering precise control over blast pressure and media flow.
• Recycling Characteristics: Zinc cut wire has a finite but useful recyclable life. Its durability allows for multiple impact cycles before fracturing, contributing to stable operating costs. Regular screening is recommended to remove fines and maintain consistent particle size distribution.

Selection and Handling Guidance

Selecting the correct abrasive grade is critical to achieving the desired Almen intensity and surface coverage. The S70 size is a common starting point, but the exact specification should be matched to the component material, hardness, and peening requirements. Always verify the required size against your process parameters.

Zinc media should be stored in a dry environment to prevent oxidation. While zinc offers some corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to surface degradation. Standard packaging options include 25 kg bags, 50 kg bags, 1-ton jumbo bags, bulk totes, and drums, allowing for flexible handling from manual loading to bulk silo transfer.
