Cut Wire Shots (also known as pellets) are used for cleaning, deburring, descaling, fettling, and shot peening iron and steel components. Various hardness ranges are available depending on the application. The higher the hardness, the lower the durability. The surface that has been cleaned by wire cut shots is extraordinarily bright and smooth. It is a full-bodied shot that contains no scales or oxides; it produces no dust and leaves the surface cleaner and brighter than other abrasives.
Steel Cut Wire Shots
Steel wire generated from used tires is further processed to produce steel cut wire shots. The steel has a high carbon steel shots content and is of high quality. Steel Cut Wire Shots are made by cutting wire into lengths equal to the diameter of the wire. Steel cut wire shots are commonly used for cleaning, deburring, descaling, shot peening, and surface improvement in the foundry, forging, and automotive sectors. Steel cut wire shots in size 1.6mm are available. We create cut wire shots as cut by shape.
Cut Wire Shots Types
As Cut wire shots
Because of its sharp edge, it is only suitable for cleaning where speed is vital and a slightly rough finish is acceptable. However, it is not recommended to use for Cut Wire Shot Peening operations since they can produce dent and reduce tiredness life.
Conditioned Cut wire shots
Shots that have been rounded off by a conditioning process. A precise tool is a conditioned carbon steel cut wire shot. It is manufactured from carbon steel wire of a specific diameter and tensile strength using special cutting machines and then conditioned using special shot blasting devices. It is more commonly employed in the shot peening process, but it is also used in other industries such as the automotive, aerospace, and shipping industries.
Carbon Steel Cut Wire Shot
Carbon Steel Cut Wire Shot is a common substitute for cast steel abrasives. This is especially useful for peening/blasting applications that require a greater level of abrasive hardness or when the components to be peened/blasted have a high level of inherent hardness. It is an excellent abrasive for shot peening and abrasive blasting machine operations.
Low Carbon Conditioned Cut Wire Shot
Apart from the positive visual benefits, if components are blasted with wire shot to generate the surface polish, production economics plays a vital role. If the component hardness is 40 HRC or less, the first choice is low-hardness High-Manganese steel cut wire shot. This abrasive's remarkable qualities include great lifetime due to higher Manganese% and minimal plant wear and tear.
Cut Wire Shots Features
- Its cylindrical shape with rounded edges aids in cleaning time. The cleaning rate of your abrasive Grit Blasting Machine will eventually be boosted by at least 25%.
- Whereas shot blasting a tonne of the material requires 4 kg, employing cut wire shots only needs 1.5 kg.
- Hardness, size, and homogeneity are all equal.
- Cut wire shots become conditioned (spherical) after a few hours of use during the shot blasting process due to their natural inclination.
- Because of the tiny grain size, shots can live for days or weeks before reducing to micro particles; they do not break down into dust.
- Components peened/blasted with cut wire shots have a substantially longer life than the identical components peened/blasted with any other
- shot/grit because the peening intensity is maintained longer than with any other shot type.
- Shot peening/blasting shot should be at least as hard as Almen strips or the part being peened/blasted.
- Cut wire shots minimize maintenance and warehouse costs by being utilized in more cycles (3-5 times).
- Reduce Surface Contamination.
- There are no blowholes, tails, or porosity in this 100% solid substance.
- You can shorten the time required for shot peening machine/blasting.
- Cleans faster and leaves a more bright and smooth surface than other abrasives.
- Extends the fatigue life of blasted things.
