Spherical Metal Shot
- A shot-blasting process to achieve a clear, glossy finish. To achieve a satisfactory result, it is generally recommended to use a fine grain size.
- To improve the appearance of surfaces and achieve the desired finish.
- To round off the sharp edges of thin workpieces.
- For finishing aluminium and stainless steel profiles.
- For finishing components for the motorbike, automotive and household appliance sectors.
- For finishing the surfaces of granite and marble slabs.

Descripción
Stainless steel shot is a high-quality metallic abrasive, ideal for shot blasting and sandblasting processes where a clean, shiny finish free from ferrous contamination is required.
Unlike carbon steel shot, it does not cause rust or alter the colour of the parts, making it particularly suitable for non-ferrous materials and stainless steel.
Main Advantages
- Clean, clear and shiny surfaces
- No iron contamination or risk of rusting
- High durability and reduced abrasive consumption
- Less wear and tear on machinery
- Reducing dust and improving visibility
- Lower maintenance and operating costs
Material properties
- Lower hardness than carbon steel (with high-hardness variants available)
- High resistance to fracture
- Available in spherical and angular formats
- Available in different particle sizes
- Recommended storage in a dry, sheltered place
Spherical stainless steel shot
The spherical shot is manufactured from cast stainless steel, offering a compact and uniform structure that ensures high process efficiency.
Main applications
- Finishing of cast and forged parts
- Shot blasting of aluminium and light alloys
- Processing of stainless steel, brass, bronze and zamak
- Boiler-making and machinery construction
- Natural stone and precast concrete industry
Standard procedures
- Deburred
- Increase in roughness
- Satin finish and shaded
- Cleaning of parts
- Compaction
- Shot peening
Angular stainless steel shot
Angular shot has similar properties to spherical shot, but with a more aggressive action, making it ideal for processes where greater cutting capacity is required.
Specific benefits
- An efficient alternative to mineral abrasives (sand, glass, aluminium oxide)
- Better finishes and greater consistency
- Reduction of dust and waste
- Greater durability and lower consumption
Furthermore, it enables consistent and reproducible roughness values to be obtained, which are essential for the adhesion of subsequent coatings.
Compatible devices
- Automatic turbine shot blasting machines
- Blast cabinets
- Portable sandblasters
- Shot blasting rooms
Operating profits
- Reduced processing times → increased productivity
- Lower cost per item processed
- Reduced waste generation
- More stable and repeatable processes
