First, let's talk about the purpose of steel cut wire shot: It is generally cut and manufactured by steel wires, and mainly used in shot peening and rust removal of large metal structural parts.
At present, the cast steel shot and steel cut wire shot are all more widely used in shot blasting machine. In some special cases, these two abrasives can be used to replace each other, and some customers mix these two kinds of abrasive in a certain proportion. However, there is a difference between these two if have stricter requirements.
To put it simply, steel cut wire shot is to use steel wires or raw wires as raw material, and then cut into section by section, in addition, its type refers to its the diameter instead of the length cut. This kind of production method is relatively simple and can control the cost effectively, so it has the advantage in price. And the biggest advantage of it are low price, long service life, but the disadvantage is also very obvious, that is not suitable for processing high-precision workpiece.
Next we will introduce cast steel shot. Let's take a look at the shape of cast steel shot, and it is a shot that is a round ball shape. You can imagine the production process of it is more complex, and the manufacturing cost is relatively higher. In addition, the price of cast steel shot is more expensive than steel cut wire shot, as well as it is also shorter than steel cut wire shot in service life. But the advantage of it is that it can process the surface of the high precision workpieces to become smooth and not rough.
To summarize, steel cut wire shot has long service life, low price, high roughness in the processing of the workpiece, however, cast steel shot has short service life, high price and
high smooth.
The final recommendation is that we should choose how to use depending on the requirements of the workpieces in actual production, you can choose either one or mix them in order to achieve better effect.
