This article compares steel grit and steel shot, two essential materials used in surface preparation and abrasive blasting. It discusses their physical properties, manufacturing processes, cost, applications, and environmental and safety considerations. Steel grit is angular, harder, and suited for aggressive cleaning, while steel shot is spherical, softer, and ideal for smoothing surfaces. The choice between them depends on the specific surface finish required, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact, guiding professionals to select the best abrasive for optimal results.

The increasing steel scrap price may lead to an increase in the quotation of cast steel shots and grit.

How to take the quality inspection of steel shots? Let us describe each procedure, including sampling, sampling mounting for testing, and testing items in the article.

When we talk about steel shots and steel grits, SAE standards are often mentioned. What are these SAE standards about? What are the details in these standards?

Different grain sizes are of different sandblasting and shot peening efficiencies. Selecting the proper grain size is important for both safety and cost control. Let us talk about how to choose the proper steel shots and steel grits.

Steel shots and aluminum oxide abrasives such as brown fused aluminum oxide and white alox, could all be used for surface treatment of steels. What are the features of steel shots, compared with aluminum oxide abrasives?

Production methods of GH GL GP steel shots are introduced in detail.

The mainstream production method of cast steel shot, centrifugal atomization technology is introduced in detail in this article.
