Performances of cut wire

Higher Energy 

With very few flaws, cracks and voids, metallic cut wire has the advantage of having a very high density compared to traditional shot, giving them more impact energy, which results in faster peening, cleaning or blasting. 

Low breakage 

Cut Wire’s manufacturing process produces little or no defects, resulting in reduced media consumption, reduced media rejects, and a lower risk of surface contamination, product impingement, and surface dust. 

Constant intensity 

The performance of shot peening is not only measured at an instant “T”, but by the regularity of the process. With longer lasting shot abrasives, your operational mix will be more stable over time, increasing overall peening process efficiency, including blast pattern, filtration system and finished product consistency. 

Very high hardness available  

A wide range of hardnesses is available, even going up to 800 HV, making cut wire ideal for all peening processes. 

For all your needs 

Our wide range of cut wire shot is available in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, zinc, and many other metal, from 0.25 mm to 3 mm in diameter, from very hard to extremely soft, making it the perfect solution for all your challenging blasting and most demanding peening needs.

Applications Across Key Industries

Cut Wire is widely used across various sectors due to its outstanding performance and versatility. Its superior qualities make it an ideal choice for enhancing the durability and functionality of components in several critical industries:

Automotive

Enhances precision in peening automotive parts, providing superior surface finish for critical components like engine blocks, gears and springs.

Aerospace

Delivers consistent results in preparing surfaces for high-performance coatings and peen forming, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance in extreme environments.

Oil & Gas

Strengthens critical oil and gas components by enhancing fatigue resistance by peening, ensuring long-term durability in high-stress environments such as pipelines and drilling equipment.

Conditioning Levels of Cut Wire

Conditioning Levels of Cut Wire

Different Levels of Conditioning

Cut wire is typically available at various conditioning levels. Conditioning improves its durability, but also makes sure to reduce risks of denting parts.  

The characteristics of the 4 conditioning levels are : 

  • CW – As Cut
  • G1 – Single Conditioned (CCW)
  • G2 – Double conditioned (DCCW)
  • G3 – Spherically conditioned SCCW) 

Overall, the level of conditioning for cut wire will depend on your specific application and requirements. By choosing the right level of conditioned cut wire, you can ensure that you are using the most effective and efficient abrasive for your particular needs.
