Steel shot and Grit

Sandblasting material

Steel shot and grit are durable metallic abrasives manufactured from high-carbon steel, designed for aggressive cleaning, surface preparation, and shot peening. Steel shot’s spherical shape provides uniform peening and polishing, while angular steel grit offers superior cutting and surface profile creation. Both media types are highly recyclable, cost-effective over multiple cycles, and suitable for high-intensity industrial blasting applications.

Features

Extremely durable with high impact resistance
Recyclable through multiple blasting cycles
Steel shot: spherical for smooth finishes and peening
Steel grit: angular for aggressive cleaning and profiling
High cleaning efficiency and low consumable cost

Applications

Shot peening to improve fatigue strength in automotive and aerospace components
Surface preparation of steel structures, ship hulls, and pipelines
Removal of rust, scale, and old coatings
Cleaning of foundry castings and forged parts
Structural steel profiling prior to coating
