Carbon Steel Cut Wire for Shot Peening

Steel Cut Wire is produced by cutting steel wire into pellets, the length equal to the diameter of the wire. Steel cut wire is an alternative to cast steel shot for blast cleaning and shot peening application. Due to the inherent solidity of each particle, steel cut wire has up to three times greater durability and life than comparable size and hardness cast steel shot.

1. Application: Shot Peening of metallic parts particularly in the aerospace and automotive industries, ie coil springs, leaf springs, engine components and transmition compoments. Shot peening of components requiring high peening intensities or manufactured from high strength steels, surface preparation, deburring and etching of steel items prior to the application of a coating.
