To meet international standards, stainless steel cut wire shot production typically needs to meet the following international or regional standards, depending on the target market. The following are the main relevant standards:
---
### 1. **International Standards**
- **ISO 11124 / ISO 11125**
- **ISO 11124-3**: Technical requirements for metal blasting abrasives (including hardness, size, and chemical composition of stainless steel cut wire shot).
- **ISO 11125-3**: Test methods for metal abrasives (e.g., density, defect rate, flowability, etc.).
- These standards are widely recognized benchmarks in the international market.
- **SAE AMS 2431**
- This metal shot blasting standard, published by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), covers the size, hardness, and cleanliness requirements for stainless steel cut wire shot and is commonly used in the aerospace and automotive industries.
---
### 2. **European Standard**
- **EN 14231:2003**
- This European standard specifies the physical properties, chemical composition, and test methods of metal abrasives (including stainless steel cut shot) for use in the surface treatment industry.
- **EN 10204-3.1/3.2**
- This standard specifies material inspection certificates. A Declaration of Conformity (3.1) or a third-party test report (3.2) may be required for export to Europe.
--
### 3. **US Standard**
- **MIL-S-851**
- This is a US military standard that specifies the hardness, dimensions, and durability of metal abrasives for use in defense and harsh industrial applications.
- **ASTM E11 / ASTM B614**
- **ASTM E11**: Sieve size standard for particle size classification.
- **ASTM B614**: Cleaning and testing methods for wear-resistant materials.
---
### 4. **Japanese Standard**
- **JIS Z 0311**
- Japanese Industrial Standard, specifies the test methods and technical requirements for metal abrasives used in sandblasting.
--
### 5. **Other Requirements**
- **RoHS/REACH** (EU)
- Ensures that stainless steel cut shot does not contain hazardous substances (such as lead and cadmium), complying with environmental regulations.
- **OSHA/NIOSH** (US)
- Occupational safety and health requirements, covering dust control and worker protection during production.
--
### **Key Requirements**:
- **Chemical Composition**: For example, 304 (AISI) stainless steel must contain 18% Cr and 8% Ni; 316 stainless steel must contain Mo.
- **Hardness**: Typically requires HRC 40-60 (adjusted depending on the application).
- **Dimensional Tolerance**: Complies with ISO 11124 or a customer-specified screening range (e.g., 0.2-1.0mm).
- **Cleanliness**: Free from oil and impurities, and must pass salt spray testing (e.g., ASTM B117).
---
### **Recommended Steps**:
1. **Define Target Market**: Select the appropriate standard based on the exporting country (e.g., EN/ISO for the EU, SAE/ASTM for the US).
2. **Third-Party Certification**: Tested by organizations such as SGS and TÜV, with a compliance report.
3. **Customer Requirements**: Some industries (e.g., automotive and aviation) may have additional standards (e.g., Ford and Airbus corporate standards).
For further details, please provide the specific country or industry for a more targeted response.
