Steel Shot - Low Carbon (Ferrosad Germany)


Steel Shot - Low Carbon (Ferrosad Germany) is produced by melting only deep-drawing low carbon scrap.  As a result of this, the microstructure after the atomizing process is a bainite structure which is tough and durable.  ow carbon steel shot gives a longer life and is more durable than high carbon shot as it is relatively crack free.  Thus, the consumption is reduced by more than 20% in trials by our customers' factories.  With high carbon material, the shotting operation produces surface cracks which are extended in subsequent heat treatment.  This does not occur in low carbon shot because of its different structure.



Benefits :

  • Durable
  • Does not fracture easily
  • Corrosion proof
  • Low carbon content


Suitable for :

  • blasting as steel and iron castings and casting non-ferrous metals
