Characteristic for steel shot and grit
High cleaning speed
QB Shot, QG Grit has the appropriate hardness, high cleaning speed, good rebound, and it can clean inside-corner or complex shape products. In that case, it can reduce processing time, increase capacity, improve production efficiency and save energy ,reduce manufacturing cost.
long lasting and less consumption.
QB Shot, QG Grit has less internal defects. Its microstructure of tempered martensite, tempered troostite + dispersed carbide, with High impact resistance, long life. And it can reduce the load of dust collector.
with the effect of stress release and increase the strength.
QB Shot has impact internal organization, and not easily broken. It is equally located, to release the stress, and improve the surface hardness,
strict quality management
Manufacturing process strictly enforce the IS09001: 2008 international quality system standards, with strict technology control. QC department enforce 24hour tracking monitoring for manufacturing process. All products date can be traceable.
Relation between density and worklife
Hardness is proportional to blasting speed but inverse proportional to worklife. Higher hardness, faster blasting speed, but shorter life with larger consumption. Proper hardness (approx. HRC40-50) will have the most economical efficiency. The proper hardness have good rebound resilience and will clean the corners fully and reduce the working period.
Inner flaws such as air-cavity, fissure and porosity affect the worklife of abrasive and increase consumption.
Density larger than 7.4g/cc has minimum inner defects.
