Steel Grit Blasting Abrasive

Steel grit blasting abrasive media, is available in a range of different hardness grades. A typical grit grade is GL25. The G stands for grit. The L stands for a mid-range hardness. The 25 in the grade name stands for the size. Steel grit is available in a range of sizes, from G12 to G120. Steel grit sizing uses a mesh sizing naming convention similar to that used for sandblasting sand – the smaller the number, the bigger the grit size, the bigger number, the smaller the grit size.

Most steel grit blasting takes place in manufacturing or fabrication facilities. Site blasting using steel grit does place sometimes. The restricting factor for site blasting with steel grit is the extensive amount of recycling equipment needed to justify using it on site. Steel grit is three to four time more expensive than sandblasting sand and recycling is essential for cost efficiency. Bridge blasting often uses steel grit – with specialist crews using specialist recycling equipment. Air blasting systems use the harder grades of steel grit, and wheel blasting machines use the softer grades of steel grit. Typical items blasted with steel grit in a manufacturing or fabrication facility include industrial building framework, agricultural machinery, pipework, or castings.

The High Quality Steel Grit is a top-performing cleaning and descaling abrasive media, predominantly used in airless wheel blast machines and blast rooms. Available in multiple grades and sizes, this steel grit offers a unique feature where its sharp edges gradually round off during multiple recycling processes, making it a cost-effective and efficient option for various abrasive blasting applications.

APPLICATIONS
– Steel shot blast media is a general-purpose abrasive well suited to shot peening applications
– Wheel machines
– Ship manufacturing and maintenance
– Railcar manufacturing and maintenance

BENEFITS
– Steel shot’s round shape offers a uniform structure and provides optimum impact resilience
– Leaves a uniform surface profile
– High resistance to impact fatigue
– High bulk density
– Low friability
– Low dust levels – improves safety and visibility conditions for blasters and helps optimize speed and productivity
– High recyclability – Carbon Steel Shot does not completely shatter when it hits a surface and can therefore be recycled hundreds of times
