Cut wire shots can be used for shot blasting and shot peening processes. It is best suited for forged components, heat treated parts, aerospace components, leaf springs, automobile springs, aluminum die castings, steel castings, stainless steel castings, investment castings, sheet metal components, SG/CI castings, granite/marble cutting and finishing, pipes, PEB structures, Wind towers, Industrial tube cleaning, suspension parts, gears, engine parts, valves and so on.

Cut wire shots are very consistent in shape, hardness, chemistry and micro structure. Right from sourcing wires, to cutting, sieving, conditioning and packing, rigorous quality checks are followed to achieve consistency in quality.
| Properties | Cast Steel Shots | Cut Wire Shots |
|---|---|---|
| Raw Material | Raw material is MS scrap | Raw material is prime quality wires |
| Technology | By nature, casting process tends to have irregularities in shape, size, hardness and micro structure, resulting in blow holes, pin tails and porosity in final product. | Each particle is cut to a length equal to its diameter. Hardness is achieved by drawing wires to the desired diameter. Result is perfectly sized granules with very narrow hardness range. |
| Hardness | Range is very big (400-500 HV) | Many options in hardness and range is very narrow. 350-400, 400-450, 450-500, 500-560, 560-630, 610-670, 660-730 HV |
| Dust Generation | Very high due to blow holes and poor micro structure | Extremely low due to superior chemistry and micro structure |
| Micro Structure | Tempered Martensite | Pearlite |
| Performance Consistency | Low | Very high |
| Blasting cycle time | High | Lower by 15-20% compared to cast shots |
| Abrasive consumption | High | Lower by 40-60% |
| Types of shots (Flexibility of raw material) | Cast steel shots and Cast stainless steel shots | Low Carbon Steel, Carbon Steel Cut Wire Shots, Stainless Steel Cut Wire Shots (SUS304, SUS316, SUS430, SUS410), Copper Cut Wire Shots, Aluminum Cut Wire Shots, Zinc Cut Wire Shots, Nickel Alloy Cut Wire Shots. |
We are an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer of cut wire shots. TOCO cut wire shots conforms to SAE J441, VDFI 8001 and AMS 2431.
We offer packing in 25 kgs HDPE bags or kraft paper bags, Mounted onto 1 MT jumbo bags or wooden pallets. We use standard EURO pallet design for all export consignments.
Contrary to the industry belief, machine maintenance reduces with TOCO conditioned series of cut wire shots. Due to extremely low dust generation during shot blasting, service life of machine and dust collectors improves. Minimal down time increases productivity substantially.
We have dedicated distribution partners across India. This reduces lead time for customers.
