STEEL SHOTS
Another application of steel shot is in shot peening, in which it repeatedly strikes a workpiece
surface. The impact of the shot deforms the workpiece surface, increasing the surface's
durability. The Dawson-Macdonald Co., Inc. surface preparation solutions, uses steel abrasives
in a wide range of manufacturing processes. From surface preparation to stone cutting to shot
peening, steel abrasives play a critical role in many industries.
Steel shot is an abrasive made from small pellet-type projectiles, usually carbon steel, that is
used widely in polishing and sheet peening applications. It provides a smoother surface than
other abrasive media and is highly recyclable, thus reducing blasting machine maintenance
costs. It also produces very little dust during the blasting process, resulting in a cleaner worksite.
Regardless of its use, steel shot is an excellent choice for various industrial applications.
