Cut Wire
What is cut wire shot ?
Commitment to Excellence
Cut wire shot pellets are produced by cutting a steel wire into lengths equal to the diameter of the wire. For shot peening operations, the cut wire pellets are rounded (or conditioned) to eliminate sharp edges that could damage the shot peened parts.
Available in 2 grades, our High Durability cut wire is a specially heat-treated peening shot media that will help you save money with its extended life and quality manufacturing, while ensuring the best performance from your blasting process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about cut wire
Exploring common inquiries on cut wire and expert insights
Cut wire shot is utilized primarily for shot peening operations, providing enhanced performance in various industries such as Automotive, Oil & Gas, Aerospace, and Medical. But it can also be used in high performing cleaning and descaling operations.
Cut wire shot pellets are produced by cutting a steel wire into lengths equal to the wire diameter. For shot peening, the pellets are rounded to eliminate sharp edges (conditioned), ensuring safe and effective use.
Cut wire shot comes in sizes ranging from 0.3 to 2.5 mm, as cut or conditioning levels G1, G2, and G3, offering versatility for different applications.
Stainless steel cut wire shot is highly durable and long-lasting, characterized by excellent toughness. Cut wire shot, particularly stainless steel cut wire, wears down instead of fracturing or breaking, leading to less dust during blasting and ensuring a cleaner operation.
High-Durability Cut Wire, with its unique heat-treatment process, exhibits a +30% extended life compared to conventional cut wire, resulting in more cost-efficient, but also more stable and controled shot-peening operations.
The HD cut wire range offers cost efficiency, eco-friendliness, and top-notch quality, ensuring stable peening effects with consistent particle size and hardness.
Winoa’s cut wire products are characterized by a wide range of sizes, conditioning levels, hardness options, metallurgical choices and global availability, ensuring a tailored solution for diverse blasting and peening needs.
