Steel Grit for Grit Blasting
We at Itaichu provide premium steel grit for efficient grit blasting in a range of industrial settings. Because of its exceptional surface preparation design, our steel grit is the best option for people who require dependability and efficiency.
What is Steel Grit?
Steel shot is crushed to create steel grit, an angular abrasive. Steel grit, as opposed to round steel shot, is more efficient at removing rust, hard coatings, and mill scale because of its sharp edges. Because of its strong cutting action caused by its hardness and form, it is especially helpful in applications that call for surface preparation and deep cleaning.
Steel grit is widely used in grit blasting because of the strength and capacity to hold its shape it carries over time.
Steel Grit Features
Durability: Our steel grit is built to last, withstanding repeated impact without breaking down quickly, making it a cost-effective choice for industrial blasting.
Consistency: Because the size and shape of our steel grit are so consistent, it performs uniformly; therefore, surface preparation is uniform, and rework is minimal.
Efficiency: The sharp edges of steel grit enhance its cutting action, effectively removing stubborn coatings and contaminants, translating to faster cleaning times and better surface profiles.
Applications
Itaichu’s steel grit is highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications:
This technique is great for cleaning and roughening metal surfaces to provide the best possible adhesion before coating, painting, or bonding. It works especially well for:
- Surface preparation for steel, welded, and shipbuilding structures
- Metals with a satin sheen
- Rolling mill etching
Offers effective, comprehensive surface profiling and cleaning for a range of industrial applications, such as:
- Iron and steel castings, forgings, heat-treated goods, and non-ferrous castings are all subjected to desanding, descaling, and deburring.
This method works well on steel and other metal surfaces to remove difficult coatings, rust, and mill scale.
Shot blasting is used to create desirable surface textures, whereas shot peening is used to increase the fatigue life of machine parts. Examples of applications are:
- Reinforcing machine parts against cracks, fatigue, and stress corrosion (e.g., springs, gears, crankshafts, turbines, welded structures).
