Our low carbon steel shots which are imported from Turkey, were melted in the state-of-the-art induction furnaces to make the best use of the scraps for production with low carbon, low sulphur and phosphorous content raw material. The molten material, following the quality control operations is atomized by water jet. The steel shots are taken out of the water pool and dried in drying oven under controlled ambient. After they were removed from the dust and oxides featuring metallic appearances, they are then delivered to the sieves. No heat treatment is necessary on the shots. They are then ready for fully automatic scaling and packaging operations.
Low Carbon Steel Shots feature high impact absorbing capacity. The impacts are distributed evenly over the surface of the shot. Unlike high carbon shots, no surface cracks observed on low carbon shots. Cracks shortens the use of shots considerably. Following few operational cycles in shot-blasting machines, low carbon steel shots harden up to 46-49 HRC, and their active cleaning effects increase.

LOW CARBON STEEL SHOT
High Carbon Steel Shots
Low Carbon Steel Shots
Produced by the low-carbon-content scraps of the low sulphur and phosphorous content
​
Features bainitic microstructure after atomization by quenching in the water following melting in induction furnace
Crack-free, strong and excellent grains are obtained
No heat treatment is necessary on the shots
In blasting operations, low carbon steel shots become smaller and keeping its spherical form. It does not fracture and therefore will retain its capabilities longer, resulting in better operational savings
HIGH CARBON STEEL SHOT
Our high carbon steel shots are controlled for accurate chemical composition to give better heat treatment effect. With moderate carbon content, higher manganese and silicon content while at the same time reduced sulphur and phosphor content the resulting shots will be tougher and better able to resist breakage. The energy could be wholly transferred to cleaning instead of breaking the shots and thus resulting in better efficiency and longer life of the shots
High carbon steel shots are harder and featuring tempered martensite microstructure
Harder shots increase cleaning speeds and working efficiency
Harder shots improve visual presentation of the workpiece, resulting in brighter and cleaner surface
Out high carbon shots are twice heat treated, giving them more resistance to cracking and breaking
Due to better microstucture from the dual heat treatment, the shots have better fatigue life and therefore will last longer than normal high carbon steel shots
