Product Positioning

• A long-life steel shot for customers who want very low breakage, lower dust and gentler impact on workpieces.

• Low carbon structure supports gradual abrasion instead of sudden cracking.

• Suitable for fatigue-critical shot peening and precision parts where surface damage must be controlled.

Key Advantages

Long service life: Service life can reach approx. 3300-3800 cycles under suitable working conditions.

Low breakage: Consumed mainly by gradual abrasion instead of cracking, helping reduce dust.

Gentle impact: Helps avoid dents on thin sheets, aluminum parts and precision components.

Machine protection: Lower breakage helps reduce wear on blast wheels and spare parts.

Main Application Scenarios

Low carbon steel shot for automotive shot peening strengthening
Shot Peening Strengthening

▸ Used for gears, springs, crankshafts, bearings and leaf springs requiring fatigue improvement.

▸ Low carbon structure supports gentle impact and stable peening intensity.

▸ Suitable for fatigue-critical parts where low breakage and process repeatability are important.

Low carbon steel shot for thin plate cleaning
Thin Plate Cleaning

▸ Used for cold-rolled steel plates, galvanized sheets, aluminum stamping parts and container plates.

▸ Gentler impact helps reduce dents and surface damage on thinner workpieces.

▸ Suitable for low-dust blasting where workpiece protection is more important than maximum cutting force.

Low carbon steel shot for precision casting cleaning
Precision Casting Cleaning

▸ Used for sand removal and deburring on aluminum castings and precision cast parts.

▸ Gradual abrasion and low breakage help protect fine casting details during cleaning.

▸ Suitable for customers who require lower dust, cleaner equipment and stable surface quality.

Low carbon steel shot for high-end hardware and aerospace parts
High-end Hardware & Aerospace

▸ Used for high-end hardware, machined parts and aerospace-related components.

▸ Controlled impact helps support clean finishing with less abrasive breakage.

▸ Suitable for applications where low dust, stable quality and workpiece protection are required.

Selection Notes

• Choose low carbon steel shot when low dust, low breakage and long life are the main purchasing points.

• Use fine sizes for thin sheets and precision parts.

• Use medium sizes for shot peening and general cleaning where workpiece protection matters.

FAQ

?Why choose low carbon steel shot?

• It is selected for long life, low dust, low breakage and gentle impact on sensitive workpieces.

?Is it better than high carbon steel shot?

• It is better for long-life and low-dust applications, while high carbon grades may be preferred when stronger immediate cleaning force is needed.

?Is it suitable for shot peening?

• Yes. Low carbon steel shot is often used for fatigue-critical peening applications.

?What type of workpieces are suitable?

• Thin plates, aluminum parts, precision castings and automotive parts are common application areas.

?How does it consume during blasting?

• It tends to wear by gradual abrasion instead of sudden cracking, helping reduce dust and abrasive loss.

?Can it reduce machine maintenance?

• Lower breakage and lower dust can help reduce wear on blast wheels and spare parts.
