Product Positioning

• A steel abrasive between round steel shot and angular steel grit, combining impact force with moderate cutting action.

• The fiber structure avoids casting porosity and helps reduce fragmentation during repeated blasting.

• Suitable for harsh working conditions, heavy workpieces and surfaces requiring both cleaning force and durability.

Key Advantages

Fiber structure: Continuous wire structure helps reduce cracking and abnormal breakage.

Dual cleaning action: Short cylindrical particles provide both impact and cutting performance.

High recyclability: Low fragmentation supports repeated recycling and stable blasting performance.

Heavy-duty suitability: Works well on rusty steel structures, heavy castings and used steel refurbishment.

Main Application Scenarios

Steel wire cut shot for construction and mining machinery cleaning
Construction & Mining Machinery

▸ Used for excavator buckets, track shoes, wear plates and heavy machinery components.

▸ The cut wire shape gives both impact and moderate cutting action for rugged workpieces.

▸ Suitable for repeated blasting where low fragmentation and durability are important.

Steel wire cut shot for ship repair and steel renovation
Ship Repair & Steel Renovation

▸ Used for old coating removal and severe corrosion cleaning on hull plates and storage tanks.

▸ Provides stronger surface action than round shot while remaining less sharp than steel grit.

▸ Suitable for renovation projects involving thick steel and aged protective coatings.

Steel wire cut shot for automotive forgings and springs
Automotive Forgings & Springs

▸ Used for scale removal and stress release on forgings, springs, chains and shafts.

▸ Conditioned cut wire shot supports shot peening and strengthening applications.

▸ Low fragmentation helps maintain stable blasting performance in automotive production.

Steel wire cut shot for heavy foundry cleaning
Heavy Foundry Cleaning

▸ Used for shakeout, sprue cleaning and descaling of large cast steel parts.

▸ Cylindrical particles provide impact plus cutting action on rough foundry surfaces.

▸ Suitable for heavy casting cleaning where durability and cleaning force are both required.

Selection Notes

• Use 0.8-1.2 mm for thin sheets and precision parts.

• Use 1.2-1.5 mm for general steel and automotive component production.

• Use 2.0-3.0 mm for thick plates, severe corrosion and heavy rust removal.

FAQ

?How is steel wire cut shot different from cast steel shot?

• Wire cut shot has a fiber metallic structure and cylindrical shape, giving lower fragmentation and stronger cutting than round cast shot.

?Is it closer to steel shot or steel grit?

• It sits between the two: more cutting than round shot, but less angular and less aggressive than sharp grit.

?Can it be used for shot peening?

• Yes. Conditioned cut wire shot is commonly used for shot peening and strengthening applications.

?Which size should be selected for heavy rust?

• 2.0-3.0 mm is usually selected for thick plates, severe corrosion and heavy refurbishment.

?Does it generate less dust?

• Its wire structure helps reduce fragmentation, so dust generation is usually lower than unstable cast abrasive under repeated impact.
