Steel Shots
Steel shots are spherical metallic particles produced by atomizing molten steel and subsequently heat-treating them to achieve specific hardness and durability. These high-performance abrasives are primarily used in shot blasting processes to clean, and prepare metal surfaces. Their uniform roundness ensures consistent impact energy, making them ideal for various industrial applications.
