Steel Grit GP

Steel shot and steel grit are abrasives used for metal surface treatment and strengthening. They are usually made from high-strength steel wire through processes such as melting, quenching, crushing, and screening.

Introduction


GP is an economical general-purpose cast steel grit with outstanding toughness, manufactured in accordance with SAE J199 and GB/T18838 standards. Processed via single quenching & tempering heat treatment, it features inherent angular grain shape. Its edges wear gradually into roundness during operation with minimal breakage or shot-blasting machine blockage, serving as the dominant abrasive for foundry shakeout and high-volume steel plate pre-treatment on production lines.

Key Advantages


1. High toughness & low breakage rate: Grain edges wear slowly instead of shattering drastically, lowering overall abrasive consumption cost;


2. Gentle impact prevents substrate damage: Ideal for thin sheets and precision castings without workpiece deformation risk;


3. Wide compatibility with all blasting equipment: Perfect fit for crawler, hook-type and steel plate pre-treatment lines, avoiding elevator & separator clogging;


4. Low dust emission: Far less dust than mineral abrasives to meet environmental protection requirements.



Application Fields


1. Foundry industry: Cleaning adhered sand and thermal oxide scales from cast steel & iron components;


2. Steel processing line: Removing light rust and thin oxide layers from hot-rolled sheets, section steel and H-beams;


3. Auto spare parts: Surface cleaning for chassis components and stamped thin-wall parts;


4. Light steel structure & hardware: Derusting of light steel frames, iron art and thin-wall pipes.



Selection Tip: 

Coarse grades GP10~GP18 for heavy casting cleaning; 

Medium-fine GP25~GP80 for thin plate & precision workpieces; 

GP120 for fine pre-finishing treatment.
