Production method
.‌Atomized stainless steel shot‌: This type of shot is obtained by melting and atomizing and cooling. Specifically, the stainless steel liquid is sprayed into tiny droplets under the action of high-pressure gas or steam, and these droplets are quickly cooled and solidified into spherical particles‌1.
.‌Cast stainless steel shot‌: This type of shot is made through a casting process. The stainless steel liquid is poured into a mold and formed into spherical particles after cooling‌1.
Features
.
‌Atomized stainless steel shot‌:
.
‌Shape and surface quality‌: The shape of atomized stainless steel shot is more regular, the surface is smooth, and there are no obvious edges and burrs‌2.
‌Application range‌: It is widely used in the non-ferrous metal casting industry, such as surface shot blasting of aluminum alloy, zinc alloy and other workpieces. The surface of the treated workpiece is smooth, no pickling is required, and it can show the natural color of the metal material, and will not cause rust and discoloration on the surface of the workpiece‌2.
‌Wear resistance‌: Atomized stainless steel shot has high wear resistance, which can reduce production costs‌2.
.
‌Cast stainless steel shot‌:
.
‌Shape and surface quality‌: The shape of cast stainless steel shot is relatively irregular, and there may be some rough texture on the surface‌3.
‌Application range‌: Mainly used for surface treatment of workpieces such as steel, it can provide good surface roughness and is suitable for application scenarios requiring higher surface roughness‌3.
‌Wear resistance‌: Cast stainless steel shot has low wear resistance, but can provide good surface quality and stress distribution‌3.
Cost and durability
.‌Atomized stainless steel shot‌: Due to the complex production process, the cost is high, but its service life is long and the wear resistance is high‌2.
.‌Cast stainless steel shot‌: The production cost is low, but the wear resistance is poor and the service life is relatively short‌
