Low Carbon Cast Steel Shot by W Abrasives™
W Abrasives™ high durability, low dust, reusable & recyclable Low Carbon steel shot media
*ONLY AVAILABLE IN NORTH AMERICA*
Low carbon cast steel shot, best suited for foundry cleaning applications, desanding, deburring or descaling. With its typical lower hardness, this media will last longer than regular high carbon shot, reduce machine wear while maintaining its effectiveness for many demanding industrial applications like removing sand or scale from castings.

Understanding low-carbon steel shots
-
High Cleaning Performance with Durable Microstructure:
Low carbon cast steel shot is produced using low sulfur and phosphorus steel scrap. Its bainite microstructure results in a long-lasting, robust, and nearly defect-free shot media, delivering exceptional cleaning performance.
-
Superior Quality and Compliance with Industry Standards:
Manufactured according to SAE J2175 & J444 specifications, our low carbon cast steel shot is produced using a cutting-edge (‘2022) production line. This advanced technology ensures the highest quality, manufacturing control, efficiency, and minimal environmental impact in compliance with the latest standards.
-
Versatile Size Options to Meet Specific Requirements:
A comprehensive range of standard sizes, including S110, S170, S230, S280, S330, S390, S460, S550, and S660, is readily available to cater to various industry needs. Additionally, we offer larger sizes, such as S780 or S930, and smaller sizes like S070 upon request to accommodate specific requirements.
-
High production quality control:
Manufactured to exceed SAE J2175 standards, our low carbon media will meet a hardness between 40 and 51 Rockwell C (500-540 KNH), with a level of defects (shape, cavities, cracks), as well as a microstructure well within the industry standard.
